Why use Mergevanta to convert PDF to Excel

Real numbers, not text

Values like 1,234.56, (1,234), 12% and $5 become numbers with a matching format, so SUM, sorting and charts work straight away.

Tables keep their shape

Ruled tables are read cell by cell, merged header cells stay merged, and the header row is bold and frozen.

Borderless pages handled

Pages without table lines are split into rows and columns by the position of the text, so statements and lists still land in columns.

Private by design

Files are encrypted end to end, processed in memory and never stored; large files are converted in your browser instead.
