Troubleshooting

Common PDF to Excel Errors & Fixes

No tables detected in PDF

Fix: The PDF may not have structured tables (it may be a text document with manually aligned text). Try PDF to Word conversion instead for better results with text-heavy PDFs.

Garbled numbers in Excel output

Fix: The PDF may use unusual locale settings (e.g., European decimal comma). After converting, use Excel's Text to Columns feature to parse numbers correctly.
