A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

Choose one text-based PDF up to 50 MB and 200 pages.
Select pages and a CSV separator, then inspect the estimated table.
Download the selected pages as CSV. Scanned PDFs and OCR are not supported.

Heuristic structure

PDF text items are clustered into rows by vertical positions and columns by horizontal gaps. Complex merged cells, rotated text, and irregular layouts may need cleanup.

Text PDFs only

The tool reads selectable PDF text with PDF.js. It does not perform OCR or recover text that exists only as pixels.

Local limits

Files are processed in your browser, up to 50 MB and 200 pages. Select only needed pages for a smaller export.
