About PDF to Excel

PDF to Excel saves you from retyping bank statements, price lists, invoices or research tables. Upload the PDF and every table becomes an Excel table with the same rows and columns, including merged cells, shaded cells and bold headers. Tables drawn without lines are picked up from the way the text lines up. If you need the text around the tables as well, PDF to Word converts the whole document.

Numbers arrive as numbers, not text, so SUM and filters work right away. Percentages stay percentages, decimals keep their places, and long strings such as phone or account numbers stay as text instead of turning into 1.38E+10. Each table gets its own sheet named after its page. If you'd rather scroll one list, tick Put all pages on one sheet.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Numbers you can calculate with

    Amounts, percentages and thousands separators are stored as real values with a matching number format.

  • Merged cells and shading

    Cells that span rows or columns stay merged, and filled header cells keep their colour.

  • Scanned tables read by OCR

    When a PDF has no text layer, its tables are recognised from the page images automatically.

  • Nothing gets lost

    If a file has no tables at all, its text is exported line by line so you still get the content.

FAQ

PDF to Excel: questions and answers

Does PDF to Excel work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. If the PDF has almost no selectable text, the tables are read with OCR automatically. Straight, clear scans with visible grid lines give the best results.
Why do some numbers stay as text?
Numbers with 11 or more digits, like phone, ID or account numbers, are kept as text on purpose, so Excel doesn't round them or show them in scientific notation. Ordinary amounts are stored as numbers.
How do I get all the tables on one sheet?
Turn on Put all pages on one sheet before converting. The tables are then stacked on a sheet called Tables, with an empty row between them. After editing, Excel to PDF can turn the workbook back into a PDF.
Is PDF to Excel free to use?
Yes, within the free limits of 2 tasks in total without an account, or 2 a day with a free one, for PDFs up to 50 MB. VIP has unlimited tasks and handles files up to 1 GB.
Who can see the financial data I upload?
No one. The upload is encrypted, the conversion runs in its own isolated process, and the PDF and the workbook are removed automatically after an hour.
