Will my PDF table be perfectly reproduced in Excel?

Table detection is best-effort based on text position. Simple tabular data usually maps well; complex merged cells and nested tables may need manual cleanup after conversion.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

Scanned PDFs are image-based and contain no embedded text. The output will be empty. Run OCR on the PDF first to embed text before converting.

What if my PDF has multiple pages?

Each page is written to a separate worksheet in the same .xlsx workbook.

Files are deleted immediately after processing.
