Sample output
A preview of the structured result PDF to Excel produces — not a live extraction of your file.
Example table extracted from a PDF into spreadsheet columns.
| Item | Qty | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Widget A | 10 | 12.00 | 120.00 |
| Cable 2m | 25 | 4.50 | 112.50 |
| Bracket | 8 | 9.00 | 72.00 |
One PDF is a sample. Fifty is a parser.
The free tool proves the table lands in Excel. A saved PerfectParser extracts the same layout across a vendor pack and exports CSV for QuickBooks.
What is PDF to Excel?
PDF to Excel pulls tabular data out of a PDF into a workbook you can open in Excel or Google Sheets. PerfectParser offers three lifetime samples (1 MB / 3 pages). After that, sign in: each new page uses one credit, the same ledger as dashboard extraction.
Manual work vs. PDF to Excel vs. PerfectParser

Why Use This Tool?
Tables, not a text dump
Columns stay columns. You get a workbook, not a wall of characters pasted into sheet A1.
Same credits as the product
After sign-in there is no shadow “tool credit.” Page usage shows up next to dashboard extraction.
Built for AP files
Invoices, statements, and operational PDFs — not a generic PDF utility suite.
Who Uses This Tool?
AP teams
Turn a vendor PDF schedule into Excel without retyping rows.
Accountants
Move a PDF trial-balance table into a working spreadsheet.
Ops analysts
Extract a rate card or packing list table for a model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the PDF to Excel.
Is PDF to Excel free?
You get three lifetime samples with no account (1 MB / 3 pages). After that, sign in. New uploads use PerfectParser credits — one credit per page.
Does this extract every table in the PDF?
The sample path asks LlamaParse to export every detected table as a spreadsheet — one sheet per table. Signed-in runs use the full extraction engine.
How is this different from PDF to text?
Text is unstructured. Excel is extraction: you want columns. That is why Excel uses credits after the tease and text does not.
Can I convert invoices specifically?
Yes. Invoice to Excel uses an invoice schema (vendor, totals, line items) instead of generic tables.
How do I extract tables from a PDF?
Upload the PDF on this page. The converter detects tabular regions and writes each table to an Excel sheet. Three free samples (1 MB / 3 pages); after that, sign in and extraction uses page credits. For a named invoice schema instead of raw tables, use Invoice to Excel.
