PDF Table Extraction to Excel
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have 13 PDF documents—about 152 pages in total—filled strictly with tabular data. Page-to-page structure is mostly uniform. I simply need every table transcribed into Excel exactly as it appears, no extra cleaning, deduplication, or re-formatting.
Your task
• Preserve each table’s original column order, headings, and row sequencing.
• Use a separate worksheet for each source file (unless a cleaner layout makes more sense for you).
Acceptance criteria
• 100 % of rows and columns captured—spot checks and formatting must match the PDFs character-for-character.
• Numeric data kept as numbers, text kept as text; no unintended re-formatting.
• Final delivery: one Excel workbook (or 13 individual .xlsx files if you prefer) ready for immediate use, totals match the numbers on the header pages.
Tools such as Adobe Acrobat Pro, Tabula, Power Query, or Python (camelot, pdfplumber) are fine—whatever helps you achieve flawless transfer.
