Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the table detection?

Our tool reads the PDF's text layer and uses whitespace analysis to reconstruct columns, which works well for digitally-created PDFs. Scanned (image-only) PDFs without a text layer cannot be converted.

Can I control how columns are detected?

Yes, choose between automatic whitespace-based column detection or treating each line as a single column, and optionally mark the first row as a header.
