Supported formats and limitations
Accepts PDF, up to one file at a time.
- Table detection works by finding text that lines up into a consistent grid of columns — it is not guaranteed on every PDF, and this tool does not assume every PDF converts accurately.
- When a page doesn't contain a clearly structured table, you'll see a direct warning that conversion accuracy may vary, rather than a confidently wrong result.
- Merged cells, nested tables, and tables that span a page break are not reliably reconstructed.
- Cell formatting (currency symbols, colors, borders) is not preserved — only the extracted text values.
