Spreadsheet conversions
This mode can be used for PDF files containing partly or mainly tables.
Choose what should be placed in each Excel Worksheet:
• Per Page: Each page from the PDF will enter a separate
worksheet. This will happen even if page content is not tabular;
you can specify a page range to exclude unneeded pages.
• Per Table: Each detected table is converted and placed in a
separate worksheet. All content not detected as a table is placed in
a separate worksheet at the end. The detected tables do not appear
here, but are replaced by hyperlinks leading to the relevant
worksheet table.
When you do Standard Document conversions, tables in the PDF
become tables in the output file.
Form conversions
This uses Logical Form Recognition™ technology to detect form
elements and convert them correctly. Choose from:
• No form controls: The result will be a fillable form with static
form elements. You can use form handling tools in the target
application to modify the form design.
• Create form controls: The result will be a fillable and editable
form. You can change field labels and modify the form design.
Handling Mixed Input Files
Files often have mixed content: flowing text, tables and forms. In many
cases you can process these files with the setting Standard Document
and receive good results. For more precise control, you can use page
ranges to separate forms and tables and convert them separately. For
example, to best unlock a file with two pages of illustrated text, followed
by a one-page table you want to do calculations on, and finally a
three-page form - convert pages 1 and 2 as Standard Document, page 3 as
Spreadsheet and pages 4-6 as Form.
