Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF safe? Does it get uploaded anywhere?
Completely safe. This tool runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF is never sent to any server — it's processed locally and discarded when you close the tab.
What types of PDFs work best?
PDFs with text-based tables work best — this includes reports, invoices, bank statements, data exports, and any PDF that was generated digitally (not scanned from paper). If you can select and copy text in your PDF viewer, it will work here.
Can I extract tables from scanned PDFs?
Not with this tool. Scanned PDFs contain images rather than text data. You'd need an OCR (optical character recognition) tool first — Google Drive actually has built-in OCR: upload the PDF to Drive, right-click, and "Open with Google Docs" to extract the text.
What if my PDF has multiple tables?
The tool detects multiple tables per page and lets you switch between them using the table selector tabs. You can preview and export each table separately.
The extraction doesn't look right. What can I do?
PDF table extraction is tricky because PDFs don't actually contain "tables" — they contain text positioned at specific coordinates. If the result looks off, try: (1) checking if the PDF is scanned vs text-based, (2) opening the PDF in Google Docs first (which has its own extraction engine), or (3) using a desktop tool like Tabula for complex layouts.
Is there a page or file size limit?
No hard limit. Processing happens in your browser, so speed depends on your device. PDFs up to ~20MB and 100+ pages work well in most browsers. Very large files may take a few seconds to process.
