Extract Tables from PDF to CSV
PDFs lock your data in a format that's difficult to work with. When you need the actual numbers and text — not just a document to read — our PDF table to CSV converter pulls the structured data out and gives you a plain CSV file you can open in any spreadsheet tool. Works with financial tables, data grids, transaction lists, pricing tables, and more.
Unlike generic PDF converters, ours is specifically tuned for financial and tabular data. It understands multi-column layouts, header rows, subtotals, and the kinds of data structures common in bank statements, reports, and financial documents — and it extracts them cleanly.

Why Not Just Copy-Paste from PDF?
Copy-pasting from a PDF to a spreadsheet seems simple but rarely works cleanly. Multi-column layouts paste as a single jumbled text string. Numbers lose their formatting. Decimal points go missing. Rows merge or split incorrectly. For anything more than a few rows, manual copy-paste is slower and less accurate than a purpose-built converter.
Our converter handles the messy edge cases: merged cells, wrapped text in narrow columns, headers repeated across pages, and footer totals that shouldn't be included in the data. You get a clean, uniform CSV output — one row per data row, consistent column structure throughout.
What If My PDF Is Scanned or Image-Based?
Scanned PDFs — which are essentially images of documents rather than text — require OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract data. Our system automatically detects when a PDF is scanned and applies OCR to read the content. This works well for clearly scanned documents at 200 DPI or higher. Very low resolution scans may produce less accurate results.
Opening CSV in Excel or Google Sheets
After downloading your CSV: in Excel, open it directly or use Data → From Text/CSV for more import options. In Google Sheets, go to File → Import → Upload, select your CSV, and choose "Comma" as the separator. Your table data will appear in a clean grid ready for analysis.
