Output format
Excel creates separate worksheets for detected tables and keeps values as text, including leading zeros. CSV combines the rows in one UTF-8 file; choose the separator used by your spreadsheet. Borders, merged cells and irregular columns can need manual correction.
Columns (0 = automatic)
Use 0 for detected tables or 1–50 for equal-width columns. Detection can need manual correction.
OCR (text recognition)
For scanned pages, run OCR first, then return to Excel/CSV and find the tables again.
Frequently asked questions
Does the download include the whole table?

Are my documents uploaded to a server?
