Extract Financial Tables from PDFs into Excel Privately

Copy-paste from PDF invoices usually scrambles columns. Coordinate-based extraction rebuilds clean CSV rows in your browser.

Unlike Excel workbooks, PDFs do not store real rows and columns. They store text fragments with X/Y coordinates on the page canvas.

Clipboard paste often follows draw order instead of visual rows, so amounts and labels collapse into one messy cell.

PixelsKits PDF to Excel groups text by shared Y baselines and splits columns by X spacing, then exports UTF-8 CSV you can open in Excel or Google Sheets.

Run the conversion locally so invoices and payroll tables never upload. Clean the CSV headers once, then reuse the sheet template next month.
