PDF to Excel
PDF to Excel is for invoices, lists, and reports that already have a text layer. One sheet lists every line. Pages that look tabular get another sheet with split columns.
Privacy and offline checks
Document processing runs locally in supported PDFForge workflows. This panel is a diagnostic view; it cannot prove that no data left the device.
Observed resource activity
0 observations in this page session · 0 need inspection
Resource timing is unavailable in this browser. Use the independent checks below.
Page timing and the active service worker report different surfaces and may observe the same request. Worker activity can be incomplete; WebSockets, request bodies and extensions are outside this view. The latest 60 sanitized observations stay in memory only. URLs, filenames, query strings, document content and byte counts are not recorded here.
Verify independently in DevTools
- Use a clean browser profile and synthetic documents. Open Network in DevTools and enable Preserve log.
- Prepare offline below. Switch Network to Offline, then reload the saved workspace and select a new file.
- Inspect, redact, run output checks and download. Inspect failed requests and request payloads, including worker requests. A same-site request can still transmit data.
- Inspect Application or Storage. Cache Storage should contain public app assets and setup records only. Document recovery and content telemetry are disabled; recipe settings are saved only after opt-in.

Questions
PDF to Excel FAQs
Are tables detected perfectly?
No. Columns are guessed from horizontal gaps in the text layer. Merged cells, ruling lines, and scans without text can be wrong. Always review the sheet.
Does this keep formulas?
No. PDFForge writes values as text. There are no Excel formulas in the output.
Is the file uploaded for conversion?
No. The workbook is assembled with JSZip in this tab.
