Pull a table out of a PDF
The numbers are right there on the page, and retyping them is how errors get in. This reads where each piece of text sits on the page and rebuilds the grid.

How it works
- Drop the PDF — every page with a detectable grid appears in the page list.
- Check the preview against the original.
- Download the CSV, or copy the table as Markdown.
Why nothing is uploaded
Every operation on this page is done by code running inside your browser tab, using the same engine that renders web pages. The file is read from disk into your tab’s memory, transformed there, and written back out as a download. It is never sent anywhere — not to us, not to a third party.
Verify it yourself
- Open your browser’s developer tools (F12) and select the Network tab.
- Load your file and run the tool.
- The only requests you will see fetch the tool’s own code — and, for a few heavy tools, their open-source engine from a public CDN — plus one small page-view ping to loreatec.jp (page address and title, nothing more). None of them carry your file.
Frequently asked questions
How does it find the table without seeing lines?
It ignores the drawn lines entirely and works from the text itself, the invisible layer you can select and copy: characters that line up vertically become rows, and consistent horizontal gaps become column boundaries. That is also why a clean grid extracts well and an artistic layout does not.
Why does my scanned PDF find nothing?
A scan has no text layer — every page is one photograph. Run it through the OCR (text recognition) tool first; once there are actual characters with positions, this tool has something to work with.
The columns came out slightly wrong. What can I do?
Merged cells, wrapped text inside cells and tightly packed columns are genuinely ambiguous from coordinates alone — this is stated up front rather than discovered later. Usually the output needs a minute of cleanup in a spreadsheet, which still beats retyping the table.
Is the PDF uploaded?
No. Financial statements and price lists are exactly the tables people extract — the reading happens in this tab and the PDF goes nowhere.
