Doesn't rely on pixel coordinates or rule-based parsing. Claude AI reads and understands your PDF's structure, extracting every table accurately — even complex multi-row headers.
Choose CSV for maximum compatibility (Google Sheets, Numbers, LibreOffice) or Excel .xlsx for bold headers, auto-fitted columns, and full Microsoft Excel features.
Files are uploaded over HTTPS and automatically deleted after 2 hours. No account means no personal data stored. Your documents stay private.
Yes. Download the CSV file from PDFTash, then open Google Sheets and go to File → Import → Upload. Select your CSV file, set the separator type to "Comma", and click Import Data. Your PDF table will appear as a fully editable Google Sheets spreadsheet in seconds. Alternatively, download the .xlsx file and open it via File → Open in Google Sheets for even easier import.
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain text file that any spreadsheet application can open. It has no formatting — no bold text, no colors, no column widths. Excel (.xlsx) is a real Microsoft Excel workbook with bold header rows, auto-fitted column widths, and full support for Excel formulas, sorting, and filtering. If you plan to work in Excel or share with Excel users, choose .xlsx. For Google Sheets or simple data imports, CSV works great.
Merged cells are one of the hardest challenges in PDF table extraction. PDFTash uses AI to understand cell context and will attempt to duplicate merged cell values across the appropriate rows. Complex merge patterns may require minor manual cleanup in your spreadsheet app after extraction.
There are two common reasons: (1) The PDF is a scanned image — use OCR PDF first to add a text layer. (2) The PDF doesn't actually contain structured tables — if the "table" is just text formatted to look like a table with spaces, the extraction may be imperfect. In that case, use PDF to Text to get the raw content and manually structure it.
