PDF to CSV Converter

How to Convert a PDF to CSV

1. Drop your PDF onto the tool, or click Choose PDF File to browse for it.
2. Look over the page thumbnails. Click the trash icon on any page you don't need, or drag the cards to change the order.
3. Set your CSV Settings. Detect Tables is on by default (Yes): words that sit close together stay in one cell, and a wide gap starts a new column. Switch it to No to get one text line per row. For Delimiter, Comma is the default, Semicolon suits many European spreadsheet setups, and Tab is handy for pasting.
4. Click Convert to CSV. The pages are read one by one inside your browser tab.
5. Download your CSV files. Take a single page with Download CSV, or click Download All (ZIP) for every page.

Why Use This PDF to CSV Converter

• Your file stays on your device. The PDF is read by code running in your browser, so the document is never sent to a server.
• One CSV per page. Files are named page_1.csv, page_2.csv and so on. The ZIP holds every page you kept, in the order shown in the grid.
• Pick your delimiter. Comma, semicolon or tab, whichever your spreadsheet or import script expects.
• Leave out what you don't need. Remove pages before converting and they stay out of the results.
• Room for real documents. Your file size limit is shown on this page, and a free account raises it.

Good to know: this tool reads the text that is already inside the PDF and guesses the columns from the gaps between words. It cannot see table borders, so tightly packed columns, merged cells or text that wraps inside a cell can land in the wrong place. Check the CSV before you rely on it. Rows follow the page from top to bottom, and cells run from left to right. A scanned PDF has no text to read, and its CSV will say No content found on this page: run it through OCR PDF first. The files are plain UTF-8 without a byte-order mark, so a spreadsheet may show accented letters wrongly until you import the file as UTF-8.

FAQ

How do I convert a PDF table to CSV?

Drop the PDF onto the tool, leave the settings as they are and click Convert to CSV. Each page downloads as its own CSV file, or you can take all of them in one ZIP. Tables with clear gaps between the columns give the cleanest result.

Why are some columns merged or misaligned?

Columns are guessed from the gaps between words, not from table borders. Two columns that sit close together can merge into one cell, and a cell that wraps onto two lines becomes two rows. Set Detect Tables to No to get one text line per row, or tidy the CSV in a spreadsheet.

Are the rows in the same order as the page?

Yes. Each page is read from the top down, and the cells in a row run from left to right.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to CSV?

Not directly. A scan is a picture of text, and this tool only reads real text, so the CSV for that page says No content found on this page. Run the file through an OCR tool first, then convert the result.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Your file stays on your device. The text is read by your browser, and the CSV files are created there too.

Is there a file size limit?

Your file size limit is shown on this page, and a free account raises it.
