Frequently Asked Questions about PDF to Excel

Here we answer some frequently asked questions to help you get the most out of this tool:

Can the tool convert scanned images of PDFs?

Our converter works best with PDF files that contain digital text and tables. If you have a scanned PDF (an image of text), the conversion may require OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. Our tool is not specifically for OCR, but it performs optimally with native PDFs.

What is the difference between XLSX and XLS?

XLSX is the newer file format, introduced with Microsoft Office 2007. It is based on the Open XML standard and is more efficient and lightweight than the older XLS format. Our tool always provides the most modern XLSX version to maximize compatibility and performance.

Fun Facts about PDF and Excel
