Frequently asked questions
About PDF to Excel Converter and how Tarumak Studio works.
How does the table extraction work?
The tool reads each text run's real position on the page from the PDF's own content stream, then groups runs into rows by shared vertical position and into columns by shared horizontal start position — the same technique used by well-known open-source PDF table tools. It works well on clean, evenly-spaced tabular data (invoices, exports from spreadsheets, bank statements). It does not detect tables via drawn ruling lines, so very unusual layouts may need manual cleanup afterward.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes — pages with no selectable text are automatically run through on-device OCR (the same engine as the OCR Image to Text tool), then the same row/column reconstruction is applied to the recognized words. OCR accuracy depends on scan quality; low-resolution scans may extract less reliably.
Will dates convert correctly?
Dates are kept as readable text rather than converted to Excel's internal date format. Date text is genuinely ambiguous (03/04/2026 could mean different days in different countries) — guessing wrong would silently corrupt a date in your spreadsheet, so the tool preserves the text exactly as printed instead.
Can it open password-protected PDFs?
Yes — if a PDF needs a password to open, the tool will ask for it before processing. The password is only used locally to decrypt the file in your browser; it is never sent anywhere.
Does it preserve merged cells?
It approximates section-header-style merged rows (a single wide label spanning what would otherwise be several columns) as a real merged cell in the output. This is a best-effort heuristic, not exact PDF structural data, since PDFs don't expose table cell-merge information directly.
Is PDF to Excel Converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no usage limits, no watermarks and no premium wall. Every tool on Tarumak Studio is free to use.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no email required. Open the tool and use it immediately.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. PDF to Excel Converter runs entirely in your browser — your files are processed locally and never uploaded, which also makes it faster than server-based alternatives.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone — no app install needed.
