How to tell if extraction will work

  • If you can highlight text in the table, extraction usually works.
  • If you can’t highlight text, it’s probably a scan and needs OCR.

Steps

  1. Open PDF to Excel (CSV)
  2. Select your PDF
  3. Download the CSV and open in Excel/Sheets

Tips

  • Start with a single page if the PDF is large.
  • Clean up the CSV after export (split columns, remove empty rows).
