PDF to Excel (Text Transcript)
Create a real XLSX workbook for searching and sorting page text. It does not detect or reconstruct PDF tables.
LOCAL TEXT TRANSCRIPT
Extract PDF text into an Excel workbook
Creates one worksheet row per PDF page. This is a text transcript, not table recognition.
Only embedded text is extracted. Scanned pages are marked; OCR is not performed. Tables, cells, formulas, images, and reading order are not reconstructed.
PDF parsing and workbook generation happen in your browser. Your file is not uploaded.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Choose a PDF up to 50 MB and 100 pages.
- Extract existing text objects locally, one page at a time.
- Download an XLSX workbook with page and text columns. Scanned pages are marked; OCR is not performed.
A real Excel workbook
The downloaded XLSX is a valid Office Open XML workbook with Page and Text columns. It can be searched or sorted, but does not recognize cells, formulas, or source layout.
Embedded text only
PDF.js reads text objects in its available order. Image-only pages receive a no-text marker; OCR is not performed. Tables, columns, footnotes, and semantic structure are not reconstructed.
Private and bounded
PDF parsing and workbook generation happen in your browser. One PDF may be up to 50 MB and 100 pages, extracted text up to 25 million characters, and output up to 100 MB.
