Developer’s Description
Converting scanned files to PDF (Portable Document Format) and extracting tables from PDF is necessary in today’s modern times. Often, essential business data is trapped inside these documents, and extracting data from PDF is, unfortunately, more often than not, a manual and tedious task. This task becomes even more daunting when you need to extract tables from PDFs or scanned images.
Luckily, different tools and software are available to extract data from PDF tables. These tools and software are various removing and have advantages and disadvantages.
In this article, we will see how three software – Tabula, PdfTables, and Docparser – perform their respective tasks of parsing PDF tables and how they stack up against each other.
We will compare the three for you to help you find the best alternative for your business’s requirements. We’ll compare which software extracts and best converts tables in PDF, offers the most variety of formattings, supports table parsing OCR, and extracts tables from scanned PDFs.
Tabula works excellent with native PDF files – meaning PDF files that contain “selectable” text data. It can be used on Windows, Mac, or Linux, and its open-source is also available on GitHub. Tabula also works simply– -you choose your PDF file, define the table columns you need to extract and download the extracted data as an excel file.
It is a robust software that is easy to use if you have a PDF file. But it doesn’t come without any shortcomings.
The biggest problem with Tabula is that the software lets you upload native PDF files only. It does not support Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Thus, it won’t work if your tables are in a scanned document or an image. You would first need to convert the scanned document or image into a PDF and then use Tabula to extract its tables.
Also, it cannot do batch processing. The software only allows one document with each upload. So if you have a batch of PDF files to work upon, you need to upload them one by one and work on each of them individually.
While it proves to be difficult to edit tables that are delivered to us in PDF format, there are reliable tools that have been crafted to help us bring that gap easily. Of course, you will get a cornucopia of tools out there that promise to extract PDF tables from PDF documents and save in either Excel or CSV format but unless you have knowledge of the available options, it can be a tedious and time-consuming process finding that one tool that will work the magic for you.
In this article, we bring a good end to your quest by letting you in on some of the 7 best software you can reliably use to extract tables from PDF to Excel in a satisfactory way. These top-performing solutions will sail you towards the ultimate convenience at the end of the day. If any of these PDF table extraction tools form part of your artillery, you can say goodbye to the copypasting and retyping of tables when you need to transfer table data from PDF into the Excel equivalent. Having said that, here is the boatload of programs you can count on to deliver exemplary results.
A simple to use and comprehensive Excel add-in that allows you to extract and convert spreadsheet data into XML format in a few steps
Excel Table To XML Converter Software
Review by Alexandru Chirila on January 27, 2014
Excel Table To XML Converter Software is an Excel add-in that allows you to convert a block of cells into an XML file.
To install the application, all you have to do is run the kit file and follow the wizard steps. They will easily guide you through the entire process that should only take a couple of seconds, meaning that you can quickly get to converting the data you need.
Once the macro file is granted access, you can find the application in the ‘Add-ins’ tab from the main window of Excel. There is no particular user interface to speak of besides the existence of a drop down menu from which you can choose to run the conversion wizard or open a sample file and the actual export window.
Excel Table To XML Converter Software is very easy to use. All you need to do is open the Excel file from which you want to extract the data and run the available wizard.
The add-in offers you a couple of ways to perform the conversion. You can make the first row in the selection as a header row or transform the column in the selection as a header one. It’s also possible to convert the first row and column as headers or leave the XML file entirely without them.
Regardless of the option you choose, Excel Table To XML Converter Software offers you a rough preview of how the XML file looks like so you have the best output style that you need. After you choose the appropriate layout, you simply click the ‘Export XML File’ button and have it sent to a custom chosen location on your computer.
You can have multiple tables on the same spreadsheet and the application is capable of exporting them as easy as mentioned above. To convert them into individual XML files, you have to select them and then run the add-in.
In closing, if you’re looking for a fast and simple means of converting XLS data to XLM format, then Excel Table To XML Converter Software is the tool you need.
