Convert PDF To CSV

Certified Senior Developer

Hey Folks,

I am using an excel tools plugin for converting HTML to CSV. Now, there is a new requirement for converting PDF to CSV, and walking through the discussions and searches I haven't found any good match or solution. Can anyone help me with this? It would be highly appreciated.

  • That is a  real scenario lots of folks start with HTML to CSV and then bump into PDF to CSV which is a bit trickier because PDFs are not structured like HTML tables

    what you can do depends on the kind of PDFs you have if they are mostly table‑based then using a tool that can extract tables first makes your life much easier

    one simple approach outside your plugin environment is to use a PDF to CSV converter first and then save that Excel as CSV once it looks right inside Excel or Sheets
    this gives you a structured intermediate format to work with
