Goodbye, Copy-Pasting! How Nitro Automates Table and Form Data Extraction

PDFs often contain critical business data—but getting that information out of tables and forms can be painfully slow. Manually copying rows, cells, and form fields creates bottlenecks, introduces errors, and drains productivity.

That’s why Nitro built Table Extract and Form Extract—AI-powered tools that use machine learning to automatically extract structured data from your PDFs with accuracy and ease. These tools help you eliminate repetitive work and unlock your document data in seconds.

Spending hours manually copying table data from PDFs to Excel? Nitro Table Extract automates the entire process, identifying and extracting structured table data—including complex formats with merged cells or invisible borders—so you can work faster and smarter.

Why Table Extract Is So Powerful

• Reclaim hours of manual work
  Automatically extract table data into structured Excel spreadsheets—no copying required.

Best practices for optimal accuracy

For the highest-quality extractions, keep these guidelines in mind:
