Honestly: a PDF has no real concept of rows and columns internally — just text positioned on a page. This tool infers table structure by looking at how text lines up horizontally and vertically, which works well on clean, simple, consistently-aligned tables, and can get columns wrong on complex layouts. Even professional, paid tools from major companies have real limitations here — this isn't a solved problem industry-wide, and we'd rather tell you that plainly than oversell it.
A simple table with clearly aligned columns and one row per line — the kind of table you'd find in a basic report or data export. Merged cells, multi-line cell content, tables with inconsistent alignment, or multiple different tables in one document are all much harder for this tool to get right.
This tool needs a real, selectable text layer to work at all — it will tell you clearly if none is found. For scanned documents, use our OCR tool first, though turning OCR'd text back into a clean table is a genuinely harder combined problem and may need manual cleanup afterward.
Yes — all pages are combined into one continuous table, in reading order, which works well if your PDF is one table that continues across pages.
No. Reading the PDF and detecting the table both happen entirely inside your browser.
