How to Export PDF Tables to Excel or Word

A table in a PDF is just lines and text — not real cells. AshurReader rebuilds it as a proper spreadsheet — or a real Word table — so every value lands where it belongs.

Why copy-paste fails

Copying a PDF table usually dumps everything into one column or scrambles the rows. A real export rebuilds the grid instead.

Export to Excel

  1. Open the PDF that contains the table.
  2. Choose export to Excel.
  3. Pick the page range with the table.
  4. Export — each cell lands in its own spreadsheet cell.

Or export the same table to Word

Prefer to keep working in a document? Export the table as an editable Word table instead — same structure and layout, ready to restyle.
