PDF to CSV

CSV is what a table becomes when it has to go somewhere else: into a database, a script, an accounting import, or a spreadsheet in another country. Drop a PDF with a table in it — an export from a bank, an invoice, a price list — and its rows and columns are read from where the text sits on each page, with a preview of every page's table before anything is saved. The CSV keeps each cell exactly as the PDF wrote it, numbers included, and every page's rows follow each other in one file.

The file is semicolon-separated with a byte-order mark, which is what Excel expects in Norway, Germany and France, where the comma is the decimal mark, and what keeps æ, ø and å whole. For numbers you can add up straight away, choose Excel instead. Everything happens in your browser; the PDF is never uploaded.
