Researchers lose days retyping supplementary tables. This guide covers PDF research data to Excel conversion for stats workflows.
Step 1: Download the publisher PDF
Use the official supplementary PDF when available — it usually has cleaner vector text than prints.
Step 2: Upload with Tables only
At pdfintoexcel, extract just the data grids when prose sections are not needed.
Step 3: Export multi-page tables
Long supplementary files may produce multiple sheets. Use split layout to keep distinct tables separate.
Step 4: Import into R, SPSS, or Python
CSV export is available from Excel if your pipeline prefers plain text. Numeric cells import cleanly.
