PDF Tables to CSV & JSON: every table, every page

Paste links to PDFs. You get every table back, ready to use:

  • rows: the table as a list of rows
  • records: one JSON object per row, keyed by the header row
  • csv: the same table as CSV text, ready for a spreadsheet
  • page, table_index and bbox so you know where each table came from

It finds ruled tables (drawn grid lines) and unruled tables (columns lined up with spaces), and drops page titles and footnotes that sit next to a table. Each row says how the table was found.

Output (one row per table)

Files without tables return one free row with status: no_tables and a note.

Limits

  • Scanned PDFs have no text layer, so there is nothing to read as a table. Run them through PDF & Image to Text (OCR) first.
  • Merged cells come back in the first cell they cover; the other cells are empty.
  • Unruled tables with multi-line headers can split header words across columns; the data rows are usually clean. Check detected_by.
  • Very complex layouts (nested tables, rotated text) may need the lines or text setting.

Works well with

  • n8n, Make, Zapier: call it per PDF and map records straight into your sheet or database.
  • PDF & Image to Text from the same developer for the text around the tables.

Support

Open an issue on the Issues tab with the PDF URL (if shareable) and the run ID.
