Free PDF to CSV Converter — Extract Tables from PDF

October 12, 2026 · 3 min read · By the DollarWise team

How it works

Bank statements, price lists, and reports love locking tables inside PDFs. This tool reads the text of each page together with its exact on-page positions, groups the words back into rows, splits them into columns where the gaps are wide, and hands you a proper CSV file you can open in Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice. It works best on PDFs that were generated from real tables or spreadsheets — scanned pages are pictures and need OCR instead.

    • Supplier price lists — get product tables out of PDF catalogs and into your own sheet.
    • Reports & research — rescue data tables from published PDFs instead of retyping hundreds of numbers.
    • Invoices & orders — move line items into accounting or inventory spreadsheets.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why did some columns merge together or split apart? PDFs store words at positions, not in a real table grid. The tool rebuilds columns from the spacing between words, which works well on evenly spaced tables; tightly packed or irregular layouts can merge neighboring columns or split one column in two. A quick tidy-up in your spreadsheet fixes most cases.

    Will it work on scanned PDFs? No — scans are pictures of pages with no text inside, so there is nothing to rebuild rows from. Run scanned pages through our free image-to-text OCR tool first, and use PDFs generated from real spreadsheets or documents here.

    What opens a .csv file? Almost everything: Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Apple Numbers all open CSV files directly, one row per line and one column per comma.
