PDF table extraction FAQ
How do I extract a table from a PDF?
Upload your PDF to Quadratic's AI assistant and ask it to extract the table you need. The AI identifies table boundaries, column headers, and row structure, then outputs the data as clean spreadsheet rows and columns. You can extract a specific table by referencing the page number or describing the data you want.
Can I extract tables from a scanned PDF?
Yes. Quadratic's AI can extract tables from scanned PDF documents, not just digital PDFs. It processes the document image, identifies table structures, and outputs the extracted data into your spreadsheet with headers and rows preserved.
What if my PDF has multiple tables?
The AI can extract all tables from a PDF or just the ones you specify. Ask for "all tables" to get everything, or be specific — like "extract the revenue table on page 4." Each table is placed in your spreadsheet with its structure intact.
Does it work with multi-page tables?
Yes. Quadratic's AI handles tables that span multiple pages — a common problem with financial statements, long data exports, and reports. The AI stitches the rows together into one continuous table in your spreadsheet.
How accurate is PDF table extraction?
Quadratic's AI is designed for high accuracy on structured tabular data — preserving column alignment, data types, currencies, dates, and numbers. For complex or unusual layouts, you can guide the AI with specific instructions to improve results.
Can I extract tables from multiple PDFs at once?
Yes. Upload a batch of PDFs and ask the AI to extract tables from all of them. The data consolidates into one spreadsheet — useful for pulling comparable tables from multiple reports, invoices, or statements.
What can I do with the extracted table data?
Once a table is extracted into your spreadsheet, you can analyze it with formulas, run Python scripts, create charts, or export it as CSV or to Excel. The data is fully editable and ready for whatever workflow you need.
Is this free?
Yes. Quadratic is free to start and includes AI-powered table extraction from PDFs. No credit card, no install, no plugins — just upload your PDF and extract.
