FAQs about PDF.Live’s .pdf to .xls(x) Converter

Can I convert a scanned PDF into Excel?

The higher quality your PDF, the better it will convert to an Excel spreadsheet. If you have a high-quality PDF and PDF Live’s technology recognizes text in your PDF, it will convert it to an Excel spreadsheet. Low-quality PDFs, especially those that come from a scanner, might not convert as well.

How does PDF Live convert PDFs to Excel spreadsheets?

Our technology scans your document looking for text (characters and numbers, for example), especially data that is contained in columns and rows (tables). If it recognizes that you have a table-style database, PDF Live’s .pdf-to-.xls converter will automatically create an Excel spreadsheet. However, if it is image or text heavy and our converter can’t recognize a pattern, such as with a brochure that has images and text, it will convert the PDF into an image and insert it into a spreadsheet.
