Extracting all tables

Why this matters

Most 'PDF to CSV' tools dump every text fragment into a comma-separated mess. ExtractFox extracts the fields you actually want and produces a CSV with proper headers, real numeric values, and one row per record — usable on the first try.

How it works

Step 1
Upload your PDF
Native or scanned, multi-page, up to 20 MB.
Step 2
Describe what to extract
Pick a template (invoice, statement, etc.) or write a free-text request like 'every line item as a row'.
Step 3
Download CSV
Headers come from the field names. Numbers stay numeric. UTF-8 encoded — opens cleanly in Excel and Google Sheets.

Common use cases

Invoices to CSV — line items as rows for AP import

Bank statements to CSV — transaction ledger

Receipts to CSV — expense report rows

Tables in PDFs to CSV — without the column-mismatch headaches

Multi-PDF batch — same schema across many files via API

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to CSV?+

Upload the PDF on this page, pick a document type or describe the fields you want, then click Extract and download as CSV.

How is this different from Adobe Acrobat or Smallpdf 'PDF to CSV'?+

Those tools convert positional text to comma-separated cells, which produces a mess on anything that isn't a perfect table. ExtractFox extracts the fields you actually care about and outputs a tidy CSV.

Will the CSV open cleanly in Excel and Google Sheets?+

Yes. UTF-8 encoded with proper quoting. Numbers come through as numbers. In Google Sheets use File → Import. In Excel just open the file — Excel handles UTF-8 CSV out of the box.

What about tables that span multiple pages?+

Multi-page tables are stitched into one ordered list, then written out as one CSV with a single header row.

Can I batch-convert many PDFs to CSV?+

On the paid plan, POST PDFs to the REST API and get CSV (or JSON) back. Wire it to a folder watcher or an inbox.
