Extract specific data from PDF to Excel with AI

Copying values out of PDFs by hand is the whole job: open a file, find the number, type it into a spreadsheet, repeat sixty times. Converters turn a PDF into a sheet full of everything on the page, and chat tools hand back an answer you cannot verify. This extractor does one thing: it reads every document — digital text natively, scans through OCR — pulls only the fields you asked for, and shows you where each one came from.

Many PDFs, one spreadsheet

Upload up to 10 files and each document becomes one row of the same table, with its file name in the first column. Ten invoices from ten suppliers, laid out ten different ways, end up as ten comparable rows — ready to sort, filter or paste into your books.

Say what you need in a sentence

Write "pull the invoice number, date, supplier and total" and the columns are built for you, filled from one of your documents as a preview. Rename them, change a type, add one, mark one required — all before anything is processed, so a wrong guess costs you nothing. No templates, no zones to draw.

Works on scanned PDFs, not just digital ones

Pages with no text layer are deskewed and recognised before extraction, so a folder of scanned or photographed documents behaves like a folder of digital ones. The language of each scan is detected automatically — English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and more than 30 others.

Every value can be checked

Each cell carries the document, the page and the exact spot it came from. Click it and the original page opens with the value highlighted. No summary, no paraphrase — the text that is actually on the page.

Tells you what it is unsure about

Low-confidence values are flagged instead of being presented as fact, and when a document states the same value twice with different contents, you see both. You check the handful of cells that need it rather than re-reading every document.

What you can extract

Any value a document states once: invoice number, date, supplier and total from invoices; store, date and amount from receipts; parties, signing date, term and amount from contracts; order numbers from purchase orders and delivery notes; name, email and phone from CVs and application forms.

Beyond copy-paste and Power Query

Excel can import tables that already exist in a digital PDF, but it cannot read a scan, and it will not find a supplier name or a due date in running text. Here you name the fields and the AI finds them wherever they sit on the page, in every file of the batch.

Built on the Aspose.PDF engine

Text extraction, recognition and the spreadsheet itself run on the same PDF engine as our other tools. Files that cannot be read are listed with a reason rather than dropped in silence.

How to extract data from PDF to Excel

The columns are agreed before anything is processed; then every document is read, scans through OCR, and the values land in one table you can check against the pages.

  1. Drop up to 10 PDF files into the upload area or click it to choose them. Scans are fine.
  2. Write in a sentence which values you need, or pick one of the examples, and click Suggest columns.
  3. The proposed columns are filled from one document. Rename, retype, mark required, add or remove, then click Run.
  4. Rows appear as documents are read. Click a cell to see it on the page; press N to go through the flagged ones.
  5. Choose Excel, CSV or JSON and download the table with your edits.

Files are deleted from our servers after 24 hours. The table and your edits live in this tab only.
