Converting PDF to Excel refers to the process of extracting data from PDF documents and transferring it into a structured Excel spreadsheet format. This is especially useful for handling tables, financial reports, invoices, or any data-rich documents that need to be edited, analyzed, or used in calculations. Since PDFs are not inherently designed for data manipulation, converting them to Excel makes it easier to sort, filter, and work with the information. This process can be done manually or with the help of specialized software and online tools that automate the conversion while preserving the original formatting and layout.
