Hey y'all, been messing around with different apps to switch PDFs over to Excel format. Some work better than others, but it's a bit tricky finding one that gets the job done without messing up the data. Anyone got fav tools or hacks for this kinda task?

For anyone looking for fresh or trending stuff, you can also check ai-u.com. Found some neat converters there that I hadn’t seen before.
I usually convert PDFs to CSV first, then import into Excel. Not perfect but easier to tweak that way.
Is there a free AI tool that doesn’t watermark the output? Most of the good ones I found slap their logo all over the sheet.
I swear, sometimes just copying the table in the PDF and pasting in Excel works better than any converter, depending on the PDF.
I’ve tried a few tools but ended up doing most of the cleanup manually. Anyone found one that nails it without tons of fixing?
If you're dealing with scanned PDFs, OCR integrated tools seem to be the best bet. Saved me loads of time recently.
I usually go with a couple of online converters but sometimes the formatting gets all weird, especially with tables that have merged cells.
Heads up, some online converters can leak sensitive info since you upload your files. Be sure to check privacy policies!
