PDF Table Extractor
Turn messy financial PDFs into clean, structured Excel tables. Instantly.
Financial PDFs are notoriously inconsistent: merged cells, broken lines, skewed PDF-to-text conversion, multi-level headers, misaligned columns, split rows across pages. Generic tools fail. Online extractors butcher numbers. OCR tools guess wrong. PDF Table Extractor is the first macOS app designed specifically for financial documents, not generic PDFs.

Features
Everything you need in PDF Table Extractor
Multi-Table Financial Extraction
Extracts multiple tables from the same PDF, even if structures differ from page to page. Works perfectly for lender notices, borrowing base tables, fee schedules, portfolio company reporting, debt/interest statements, management presentations, and audit reports.
True Table Structure Rebuilding
Uses positional heuristics, line density, vector analysis, and text grouping to reconstruct tables exactly as intended. Handles broken lines, merged cells, collapsed row boundaries, multi-column headers, and multi-line cells — far beyond what common extractors like Tabula can do.
Financial Number Intelligence
Understands financial formatting: ($12,345) → -12345, 8.5% → 0.085, 1,234.50 → 1234.5, "12 345,55" (EU) → 12345.55. Handles parentheses for negative numbers and currency symbols ($, €, £, CAD, AUD). Your numbers land in Excel already cleaned and usable.
Page Stitching & Table Reconstruction
If a table spans multiple pages or section breaks, PDF Table Extractor merges them automatically — preserving continuity correctly. This is rare, highly valuable, and almost no commercial tool handles it well.
Manual Table Selection Mode
When PDFs are extremely messy or non-standard (e.g., scanned PDFs with artifacts), you can manually draw a selection box to force extraction. Advanced users appreciate the precision.
Export Perfect Excel Files
Export to XLSX (structured tables), CSV, JSON, or Clipboard (paste directly into Excel or Sheets). Structured data, no cleanup needed.
