Convert PDF to XLSX
What is PDF?
PDF stores paginated document content with fixed layouts—text, images, and vector graphics. Spreadsheets store structured data in rows and columns with formulas. While PDFs can display tables visually, they don't contain calculable cell data. Extracting tables from PDF requires specialized parsing tools, not format conversion.
- PDF preserves document structure with text, formatting, and layout information
What is XLSX?
XLSX
XLSX follows Office Open XML standard (ECMA-376)—a ZIP container with XML files for worksheets, shared strings, styles, and calculation chains. Supports multiple sheets, formulas, pivot tables, charts, conditional formatting, and data validation. Replaced binary XLS format in Office 2007. Maximum 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns per sheet. Compatible with Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets.
