Frequently asked questions
- PDFs with real tables (ruled lines, aligned columns) come out best, with data landing in the correct cells. Free-form text without a table structure lands as one column since there is no grid to detect.
- The PDF is run through LibreOffice on the server, which rebuilds the layout into an .xlsx spreadsheet. Large files can take up to a minute.
- No — a PDF only contains the rendered values, not formulas, so the spreadsheet comes back with static numbers you can re-calculate on.
- It is processed to produce the spreadsheet and not kept afterward — there is no account and no storage.
- No. It runs entirely in your browser and our server — no software install, no account, no email required.
