Frequently asked questions
What’s the largest file size I can convert?
You can convert any file up to 50MB.
Who can use PDF to Excel free of charge?
You can! This table conversion tool is free to everyone. If you don’t have a Datasite project, sign up for your free account.
Can I use the mobile app to convert a PDF?
The Datasite mobile app provides a high-quality photo scan function, automatically converting the picture into PDF format and putting a copy in your My Documents area. Locate the new file in My Documents from the online web app, then choose 'Open In' - 'PDF to Excel' to start the conversion process.
Can I convert a password protected PDF?
You’ll need to remove password protection before converting a PDF – and remember to re-protect both the original and the Excel file if necessary.
Do I need to install software to use the app?
The whole process is online, so you don’t need software.
What's the difference between XLS and XLSX Excel file formats?
They're both Excel formats, but XLSX is the most recent version supported by Microsoft, so we use the latest for our outputs.
Will the converted file include all the information from the PDF?
The tool extracts only information that's in a table format. Each table is represented in a different section of the Excel file, referencing the page from which it was extracted.
Can the tool convert a scanned PDF to Excel?
Scanned PDFs can also be converted, provided the scan quality is good enough for the tool to read (please double-check).
Does Datasite keep a copy of the files I upload?
All original (PDF) and new (Excel) files are stored in your My Documents area. No other users can access them, and you can permanently delete them anytime.
