PDF to Excel from text that is already selectable
Lines of text are grouped into rows, and wide gaps become separate cells. A clean price list or invoice can land in Excel well enough to edit. A designed brochure, a merged cell layout, or a scanned page will look messy or come out empty.
This does not OCR a picture of a table. Use PDF to JPG when the page is only an image. For a Word file of the same text, use PDF to Word. If the PDF is locked, enter the password you already know. Other passwords are not tried.
