Frequently asked questions

Can PDF to Excel extract scanned tables?

Scanned tables require OCR and table recognition. Results depend on scan quality, cell borders, column alignment, and the language model available to the converter.

Will formulas be created in the Excel output?

The output represents extracted values and table structure. It does not infer business formulas that were not explicitly encoded in the PDF.

Why do merged cells need review?

PDFs store visual positions rather than spreadsheet cell semantics. Merged headers and irregular columns may need spreadsheet cleanup after extraction.
