You want to convert PDF documents into editable Excel tables?
No problem with PdfGrabber!
The software is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS. It is very easy to use and works very reliably – and best of all: you do NOT need Adobe Acrobat!
PdfGrabber enables the conversion of PDF documents into numerous other file formats. Using the “Excel” output option, you can create Microsoft Excel tables. These can of course also be opened and edited with Apple Numbers or other office applications.
Since the PDF format itself does not contain any information on tables, software is required to change PDF content into Excel tables. To this end, PdfGrabber offers special algorithms that recognize tables based on text alignment, word spacing and of course lines and then converts them into real Excel tables.
In our screenshot you can see the original PDF and the result in Microsoft Excel.
PdfGrabber automatically recognizes number formats and transfers them to Microsoft Excel. For example, it is possible to correctly output numbers with leading zeros without “deleting” the zeros from Excel. If desired, the automatic recognition of cell values can also be deactivated. Then PdfGrabber formats the cells in Excel as “text”.
This is of course also how it works with your own table based documents. Try it out without obligation using the trial version!
