How to convert PDF to Excel online
Updated
Docs.Zone extracts the tables and the text of a PDF into an Excel workbook, so you can sort, filter and calculate the data instead of copying it by hand. It works in your browser, and you can try it without an account.
- Press Select files... or drop your PDF files onto the converter.
- Choose what to convert (the entire document or only its tables) and how to lay it out (one worksheet, or one worksheet per page).
- Press Start!. The workbooks appear in your Inbox under the converter.
- Press Download next to a file. Converted files stay in the Inbox for 6 hours.

Which PDFs convert well
PDFs created by a program, such as bank statements, price lists, reports and invoices exported to PDF, contain real text and convert well. A scanned PDF is a picture of the page and has no text for the converter to read: use OCR to turn it into an editable Word document instead.
If you only need the numbers, choose Convert only the tables: the text around the tables stays out of the workbook.
