PDF to Excel

PDF tables can become spreadsheet rows and columns. Results depend on scan quality and how the table is stored in the PDF. Review amounts, dates, decimal separators, and merged cells after conversion, especially when a table spans several pages, before using formulas or relying on the data.

Manual conversion extracts every table in the document and handles files up to 250MB on the free plan. AI conversion reads the document and returns only what you describe, a date range, a section, a specific table organised across tabs however you specify, and it can add custom headings. AI also reads scanned pages, which manual conversion can't, but it draws on a shared AI allowance: 15MB a day on the free plan, across all of FynePDF's AI tools.

Yes, with AI conversion. Describe what you want "only the Q3 figures", "just the June transactions", "the revenue table by region" and the spreadsheet contains only that. You can also say how it should be organised: each month on its own tab, a custom title row, or one combined sheet. This turns a two-hundred-page annual report into the three columns you actually needed.

Yes, using AI conversion, which reads scanned pages as part of the conversion, no separate OCR step. Clean 300 DPI scans convert reliably. Phone photos and faint or skewed printouts produce more errors, particularly with small figures, so check totals against the original before relying on them. Manual conversion can't read scans and will return empty cells.

Yes, with no sign-up required. The free plan includes 5 tasks and 600MB of processing a day across every FynePDF tool, and a conversion is one of them. Manual conversion handles files up to 250MB. AI conversion additionally draws on a shared allowance across all of FynePDF's AI tools, 15MB a day on the free plan, resetting daily at midnight UTC. Since the free per-file AI limit is also 15MB, one full-size AI conversion uses the day's allowance. Professional at $7/month (annual) removes the daily task limit and gives 2.5GB of AI processing a month with files up to 100MB; Premium at $14/month gives 5GB a month with files up to 250MB.

File transfers use TLS encryption. Cloud-processed files are automatically deleted within 15 minutes after processing completes, unless you choose to save them to your Library. Documents are not used to train AI models. Read the Privacy Policy for storage and processing details.

Yes. FynePDF works directly from your browser, so it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android with no installation, and no Microsoft Excel licence. The output opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or LibreOffice.

Occasionally figures are stored in a PDF with characters that Excel doesn't read as numeric, non-breaking spaces, unusual minus signs, or currency symbols inside the value. FynePDF converts these where it can. If a column still won't total, select it in Excel and use Data → Text to Columns, which forces re-interpretation, or check for trailing spaces. Values from scanned documents are more prone to this than digitally created ones.

Yes. Excel to PDF turns your finished spreadsheet into a print-ready PDF once you've made your edits. That's the usual workflow for financial reporting, extract to Excel, do the analysis, convert back to PDF for distribution.
