What’s the difference between XLS and XLSX?
The XLS and XLSX file formats are file extensions used by Microsoft Excel. The XLS file format is an older format used by Microsoft Excel 2003 and earlier. With the release of Microsoft Excel 2007, Microsoft introduced the new XLSX file format based on the Open XML (Extensible Markup Language) standard. 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.
