Extract Data from a PDF Form to Excel or HTML

Need to extract data from PDF form fields? Do it with PDFTables! We've recently made some changes which means that now you can export form data from PDF to Excel. Any comments added to the PDF in your PDF reader will also be extracted.

I will be converting a sample PDF form to Excel, which has been filled in and commented on using a PDF reader. If you would like to convert multiple PDF forms at once, see our tutorial on how to convert multiple PDFs to Excel using our API. Let's get started!

Step 1

Go to PDFTables.com and click the Convert a PDF button to begin converting your PDF form to Excel.
