Helpful Information
How table extraction works
The extractor builds a column model from horizontal gaps that line up across rows in the PDF's text layer. It detects tables by finding consistent column boundaries and outputs a structured XLSX workbook with one worksheet per detected table. Numeric values are typed as numbers in Excel, not stored as text.
Accuracy considerations
The extractor only accepts column boundaries that repeat across several rows. Simple aligned tables work well; irregular or heavily merged layouts may be imprecise. For best results, PDFs with cleanly formatted tables produce the most accurate extraction.
Scanned PDFs
Scanned pages are run through OCR first, then table extraction runs on the recognized text. Complex scans may still produce inaccurate results depending on the scan quality and table complexity.
