Import PDF to Excel Offline

 

As you can’t open a PDF file and transfer the PDF data to an excel workbook with traditional offline PDF readers, i.e., Preview or Adobe Acrobat, you need a converter.

The good news is, Smallpdf has just what you need. The Smallpdf Desktop App is a super-fast reader with conversion capabilities. To import PDF to Excel offline, follow the steps below:

  1. Open your file in the Smallpdf Desktop App.
  2. Choose “Convert” from the tools menu.
  3. Select Excel from the right-side panel.
  4. Click “Convert” to start the PDF to Excel conversion.

In case you need an offline converter.

And that’s it! Since our app processes files offline, the new Excel document will save beside the original PDF file.

Is Smallpdf Safe?

 

Very much so! As a matter of fact, this is why we’ve accumulated such a large following. The online website adopts TLS encryption to ensure that your documents are safe. Furthermore, we also remove your documents from our AWS servers one hour after processing. The Smallpdf Desktop App processes your documents offline, so PDF and Excel files never leave your PC in the first place.

And lastly, the online site can be used on any operating system for you to import PDF files to Excel format on Mac, Windows, and Linux. All you need is an internet connection to do so.

Remember, you can also convert PDF to other formats as well, without a converter, with Smallpdf, for free. A full listing of our product capabilities can be accessed from our homepage.
