Frequently Asked Questions about Table Extraction
Our algorithm is specifically trained to recognize merged cells. It analyzes visual patterns and spatial relationships between table elements. For horizontally merged cells, the data is placed in the first cell, and the others remain empty. Similarly for vertically merged cells. Manual correction in Excel may be required in complex cases.
Yes, our converter supports PDF files. However, for best results, it is recommended to use PDF files with embedded text (not scans). For scanned PDFs, ensure the scanning resolution is at least 300 DPI and the tables are clearly visible. Multi-page PDFs are processed page by page.
Our AI automatically determines the table area in the image. Even if the table occupies only part of the image, the algorithm will highlight it and extract the data. For best results, it is recommended to crop the image so the table occupies the maximum area, but leave small margins around it.
Yes, our algorithm attempts to detect numerical formats. Currency signs ($, €, ₽), percentages (%), and common date formats are recognized and retained. However, for complex custom formats, manual adjustment in Excel may be required after conversion.
For borderless tables, we recommend:
- Using high-resolution images
- Ensuring good contrast between text and background
- Aligning columns to the left or right
- Using a monospace font in the source document
- Selecting "Without visible borders" in the settings
