Frequently asked questions
How does the table detection work?
Words are located by their position on the page, grouped into rows by vertical alignment, and split into columns by horizontal spacing, so the original grid structure is preserved.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Searchable PDFs use their embedded text directly, while scanned pages automatically switch to OCR before table detection.
Can I fix mistakes before downloading?
Yes. Every cell is editable in the preview grid, and you can add or remove rows and columns before exporting.
Which apps open the downloaded file?
The .xlsx file opens in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Apple Numbers.
