Convert PDF to Excel

Nitro Pro allows you to convert PDF files into a Microsoft Excel 2003 XML spreadsheet (.xml), or Excel 2007 Workbook (.xlsx).

You can export a range of pages, whole files, or whole collections of files in a single task. For Nitro Pro to process the conversion your PDF must contain tabular data, otherwise the conversion will be unsuccessful.

None: OCR (optical character recognition) will be automatically used on image-based (or scanned) PDF files to recognize and convert the text contained in the document.
