Product contract

Understand PDF Table Extractor before processing

Use page text and line geometry to detect table structures, then place each detected table on its own worksheet.

One unlocked PDF up to 10 MB and 500 pages, with no more than 20,000 extracted rows.

02

What you receive

One _nirmion_tools_tables.xlsx workbook with sheets named by source page and table number.

Common uses

When PDF Table Extractor is useful

Export detected PDF tables to separate Excel sheets.

01

Move ruled report tables into separate worksheets.

02

Create a workbook for manual cleanup and reconciliation.

03

Test whether a PDF exposes enough structure for tabular extraction.

Important boundary

A detected cell is not a verified value.

Review all workbook rows before calculations, imports or operational use.

Practical help

Questions before you run it

Why did the tool find no tables?

The page may use spacing rather than detectable table lines or consistent text geometry.

Are merged cells preserved?

Not reliably; PDF display geometry does not map directly to spreadsheet spans.

What is the row limit?

The job stops above 20,000 extracted rows.
