Good to Know
- ●This tool extracts tables from text-based PDFs — scanned/image PDFs won't work (use our OCR tool first)
- ●Best for: invoices, reports, data exports, and tables with clear columns
- ●Complex tables (merged cells, nested headers) may not extract perfectly
- ●For pixel-perfect extraction, use Adobe Acrobat or copy-paste from the PDF
- ●The tradeoff? Total privacy — your file never touches a server
How we compare
Privacy vs. Accuracy — an honest comparison
Competitors produce more accurate table extraction because they process your file on their servers. We keep your file private — the tradeoff is basic extraction accuracy.
