Frequently Asked Questions
Will it extract tables perfectly?
PDFPuddle uses PDF text positions, repeated spacing, and visible table rules to rebuild rows and columns. Simple and moderately structured tables work best; heavily designed PDFs may still need light cleanup.
What file format is the output?
A real .xlsx workbook with one worksheet per PDF page, column widths, row heights, and basic table styling.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs need OCR first. Use the OCR PDF tool, then paste or convert the recognized text into Excel.
Is it private?
Yes. Extraction runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent anywhere.
