Convert PDF to Excel
Overview
ComPDFKit Conversion SDK supports converting PDF documents to Microsoft Excel format (.xlsx). By extracting, parsing, and importing data from PDF into Excel, users can further edit, analyze, or share Excel files. This feature helps increase productivity, reduce manual entry errors, and simplify complex document processing tasks.

When converting PDF files to Excel files, you need to pay attention to the settings of the following options, which will directly affect the content written to the Excel file.
Content options:
If you set the

Options | Description |
---|---|
ContentOptions.OnlyText | Convert text only. |
ContentOptions.OnlyTable | Convert table and the content in the table. |
ContentOptions.AllContent | Convert all content. |
- Worksheet options:
Options | Description |
---|---|
WorkSheetOptions.ForEachPage | Create one sheet for one table. |
WorkSheetOptions.ForEachTable | Create one sheet for one PDF page. |
