Turn a PDF into an MS Office Excel spreadsheet

Converting a PDF to Excel is helpful for improved data handling, analysis, and visualization, making it a valuable feature when dealing with tabular data locked in a PDF format. It allows you to extract the tabular data for manipulation, analysis, and collaboration. Structured data can then be organized into rows and columns for filtering and ordering. This makes it easier to work with the data and perform various operations on it. It can also be imported into other applications and databases. To convert your PDF to XLSX, you only need to make a single call to our service:

curl -F "File=@/path/to/my_file.pdf" -F "StoreFile=true" https://v2.convertapi.com/convert/pdf/to/xlsx?Secret=your-api-secret

For this conversion, you can choose to include non-table content into the XLSX, like images, paragraphs, and other non-tabular elements. You can also choose whether to combine the extracted tabular data into a single sheet or keep them separate. Converting a PDF to XLSX has never been easier!
