Frequently Asked Questions — PDF to Excel
How does Docsly detect tables in a PDF?
Docsly uses structural analysis to identify grid-based layouts, ruled lines, and repeating column patterns. It reconstructs these as native Excel tables with proper cell boundaries, headers, and data types.
Can I convert a PDF with multiple tables to Excel?
Yes. If your PDF contains multiple tables across different pages, Docsly detects and extracts each one. They are placed in separate sheets within the same Excel workbook for easy navigation.
Will numbers and dates be preserved correctly?
Docsly attempts to recognise numeric values, dates, currencies, and percentages and formats them as the appropriate Excel data types. This allows you to immediately use formulas, sorting, and filtering on the extracted data.
Can I convert scanned PDF tables to Excel?
Currently Docsly works with text-based PDFs where the text layer is embedded. Scanned images of tables require OCR (Optical Character Recognition), which is on our development roadmap.
Is the PDF to Excel tool free to use?
Yes — 100 % free with no hidden fees, no watermarks, and no account required. Docsly is ad-supported, which allows all tools to remain completely free for everyone.
