Use this page when a PDF contains one or more clear table regions and your goal is to recover row/column data quickly without rebuilding structure manually.
Why This Scenario Needs Its Own Page
- - Designed for multi-table PDFs where one document includes summary tables and detail tables.
- - Focuses on preserving table boundaries so each extracted table remains usable after export.
- - Works as the neutral entry page before selecting a more domain-specific workflow like invoice or bank statement extraction.
Best Fit
- - General reports with table blocks
- - Academic or business PDFs with repeated tabular sections
- - Users who are not sure yet whether Excel or CSV is better
May Need Another Workflow
- - Image-only scans with blurry text (use scanned PDF page)
- - Narrative PDFs that contain almost no tabular alignment
Typical Columns We Extract
Pre-Export Quality Checklist
- - Verify header row mapping for each table block
- - Check merged cells around subtotal/total rows
- - Confirm decimal separators and currency symbols
