How to use PDF Table Extractor
Upload a PDF and pick a page. The tool clusters the horizontal positions of the text to work out where the columns are, groups text into rows, and shows the result as a table. Download it as CSV for Excel, Sheets or pandas.
Frequently asked questions
How does table detection work?
The tool looks at the left edge of every piece of text on the page and finds x positions that repeat down the page — those are the columns. Text is then snapped to its nearest column and grouped into rows by vertical position.
Which tables work best?
Tables with clearly aligned columns and a real text layer. Tables that rely on merged cells, wrapped multi-line cells or heavy nesting will come out imperfectly and are worth a quick check.
Nothing was detected on my page.
Either the page has no table, its columns are not aligned enough to detect, or the PDF is a scan with no text layer. Try the neighbouring pages first.
Can I extract every page at once?
Not yet — tables are extracted one page at a time so you can verify each result before exporting.
