How to Parse a PDF Online

Choose the PDF pages you need, extract their content, and save text or tables.

1

Upload and select the pages

Add your PDF and use the page selector to choose the relevant sections. Include continuation pages when a table spans them.

2

Choose the parsing mode

Use Content extraction for text and tables together. Choose Table extraction when factual records and table data are the focus.

3

Process and review structure

Click Process files. Compare headings, paragraph order, table headers, and continuation rows with the original document.

4

Export for your next workflow

Save Markdown for readable content, JSON for text and table blocks, or Excel when you need the extracted tables.

Does Copying from a PDF Break the Content?

Copy and paste can mix columns, lose headings, or turn a table into a list of disconnected values.

Paragraphs copied in the wrong order
A report with columns or sidebars can paste as text that jumps between unrelated passages.
Table cells without their headings
Numbers are difficult to reuse when their row labels and column headings disappear.
Content split across pages
A table or section may continue onto the next page, so one page alone can leave out important details.

Extract PDF Text with Its Tables

Review headings, paragraphs and tables as separate content blocks. Markdown suits notes and document drafts; JSON preserves the blocks for your own indexing or further processing.

Get a text version of readable document sections for notes, editing, or documentation.

Preview table cells with their labels before copying or exporting them to a spreadsheet.

Select the report section or appendix you need, including any continuation pages.

Save readable Markdown or download text and table blocks as JSON for your own processing.

Reuse Report Content without Rebuilding It

Take the extracted text and data into the tools where you work.

Prepare notes from a report
Copy sections into your notes and check important passages against the PDF.
Analyze tables in Excel
Export the tables and continue organizing the data in your spreadsheet.
Prepare knowledge-base material
Download Markdown or JSON as source content for your own indexing workflow.
Edit the extracted content
Open the downloaded text in an editor to correct wording and adjust the structure.
