Generic converters flatten layout. To convert PDF to Excel without losing formatting, you need geometric table reconstruction — not a text paste.
Step 1: Avoid copy-paste from PDF viewers
Copy-paste breaks merged headers and splits amounts across rows. Use a layout-aware converter instead.
Step 2: Upload to pdfintoexcel
Our engine detects column boundaries and merged regions before writing Excel.
Step 3: Choose accurate mode for complex layouts
Financial statements and invoices benefit from Accurate mode when wrap text and tall cells appear.
Step 4: Verify merged cells and number types
Open the workbook and confirm currencies are numeric, dates parse correctly, and header spans match the PDF.
