PDF to Excel FAQs.

Will the converted Excel file show the content from my original PDF?
Yes. As the inventor of the PDF file format, Adobe makes sure that the Acrobat PDF to Excel converter tool creates a high-quality file you can work with on Mac or Windows. The Acrobat functionality transfers your PDF data and content right into an editable Excel spreadsheet, where you can edit the rows and columns.

You can also try Adobe Acrobat Studio for free for seven days to convert images like PNG files, edit PDFs with optical character recognition (OCR technology), add annotations, split PDFs, reduce file sizes, convert Microsoft 365 files to PDF and export PDFs to Microsoft Word documents and PowerPoint presentations.
What’s the difference between XLS and XLSX?
The main difference between XLS and XLSX is that XLS is a binary file format used in Excel 97–2003, while XLSX is an XML-based format introduced in Excel 2007 that offers better performance, reduced file size, and broader feature support. If you have Microsoft Excel 2003 or earlier, you’ll need to download the free Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack to open, edit and save XLSX files.
How do I open my file after converting from PDF to Excel?
It’s easy to open converted files. After the PDF to Excel conversion, download your new workbook. Then launch Microsoft Excel, choose Open from the File menu and select the converted file. You can also sign in to Acrobat online services to save your converted Excel document to Adobe cloud storage for quick online access from anywhere or to edit it using Microsoft Excel for the web.
Can I edit the Excel after conversion online?
After converting a PDF to Excel, you can open and edit the file in Microsoft Excel online. You can format, refine, and analyse the data immediately without downloading.
How do I convert a scanned image to Excel?
Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Acrobat can convert a scanned image to an editable Excel file. Alternatively, you can first convert the image to a PDF, and then convert scanned PDFs into an Excel spreadsheet using Adobe Acrobat online services.
Is my data secure when I convert my PDF file to Excel?
All file conversions are processed using secure protocols to keep your data private. Files are protected during upload, conversion, and download. Acrobat is built with security in mind, and if you choose not to sign in or save your files, they are automatically deleted from Adobe’s servers after processing.
Can I convert large PDFs at once?
Yes, Acrobat can handle multi-page PDFs and large files efficiently. Converting very large PDFs or multiple files at once requires a subscription to Acrobat Studio. The conversion preserves formatting and tables across all pages.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes, Acrobat allows you to convert multiple PDFs to Excel simultaneously. This feature requires a subscription to Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard for larger batches.
Does Adobe Acrobat integrate with Microsoft Office?
Yes, Adobe Acrobat integrates directly with Microsoft Office. You can open the PDF files in Microsoft Office and convert them to Excel spreadsheets, saving time and effort.
How can I convert a PDF to Excel on mobile?
