    Convert PDF to XLS

    A PDF file (Portable Document Format) often includes text, tables, links, and sometimes images. PDFs are reliable because they display consistently on all devices. Whether viewed on a Mac, Windows PC, smartphone, or even a TV, the layout remains the same.

    However, this consistency comes with a trade-off: PDFs aren't easy to edit—especially tables—without using dedicated software. Adobe Acrobat is the most recognized option, but it can be expensive.

    In contrast, XLS files—Excel spreadsheets—are designed for editing. Microsoft Excel is the most well-known application, with a free web-based version available via Office Online. You can also use alternatives like Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and others that are completely free.
