Can it extract multiple tables from a single PDF page?

Yes! ChartGen.ai's AI PDF to Table converter can detect and extract multiple tables from a single PDF page. The AI automatically identifies distinct table regions, separates them, and presents each as an independent editable table. This is perfect for documents like financial reports or research papers that often contain several data tables per page.

What export formats are supported?

ChartGen.ai supports two primary export formats: Excel (.xlsx) - Full spreadsheet format with formatting, perfect for further analysis in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or other spreadsheet applications; CSV (Comma-Separated Values) - Universal text format compatible with virtually any data analysis tool, database, or programming language. Both formats preserve the table structure and data accurately.

Does it work with scanned PDF documents?

Yes, ChartGen.ai's PDF to Table converter uses advanced OCR technology to process scanned PDF documents. Whether your PDF was created from a scanner, camera photo, or fax, our AI can recognize text within table cells and extract the data. For best results with scanned documents, use clear scans with at least 200 DPI resolution and minimal skew or distortion.

How accurate is the table extraction?

ChartGen.ai achieves 95-99% accuracy for native digital PDFs and 90-97% accuracy for scanned documents, depending on image quality. The AI excels at recognizing table boundaries and cell structures, extracting text from headers and data cells, handling merged cells and complex layouts, and preserving numerical precision. After extraction, you can preview and edit any values in the online editor before exporting.

Can I edit the extracted table before exporting?

ChartGen.ai provides a full online table editor where you can: Edit individual cell values by clicking on them; Add or delete rows and columns; Reorder data as needed; Correct any OCR errors; Merge or split cells; Format text and numbers. All changes are reflected in real-time, and you can export once you're satisfied with the data.

What types of PDF documents can be processed?

ChartGen.ai can extract tables from virtually any PDF document type: Financial reports and statements, Invoices and receipts, Bank statements, Data sheets and specifications, Research papers and academic documents, Price lists and catalogs, Inventory reports, Survey results, Government and legal forms, Medical records and lab reports. Both portrait and landscape orientations are supported.

Is there a file size limit for PDF uploads?

ChartGen.ai accepts PDF files up to 50MB in size. For optimal processing speed, we recommend files under 20MB. If you have larger documents, consider splitting them into smaller sections. There's no page limit - multi-page PDFs are fully supported, and you can select which pages to extract tables from.

How does this compare to manual data entry?

AI PDF to Table extraction is dramatically faster and more accurate than manual data entry. What might take hours of copying and pasting can be done in seconds. Studies show manual data entry has an error rate of 1-4%, while AI extraction with verification achieves 99%+ accuracy. Plus, you eliminate the tedium and free up time for higher-value analysis work.

Is my PDF data secure?

Yes, ChartGen.ai takes data security seriously. All PDF uploads are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Files are processed in isolated environments and automatically deleted after 24 hours. We never share, sell, or use your document data for any purpose other than providing the extraction service. For enterprise needs, we offer on-premise deployment options.

Can I extract tables from password-protected PDFs?

ChartGen.ai can process password-protected PDFs if you provide the password during upload. The password is used only for decryption and is never stored. If you don't have the password, you'll need to remove the protection using the original PDF software before uploading.

What if the AI doesn't detect a table correctly?

While our AI is highly accurate, some complex or unusual table layouts may need adjustment. If a table isn't detected correctly, you can manually define the table region by drawing a selection box, adjust detected cell boundaries in the editor, split incorrectly merged cells, or combine fragmented tables. Our interface makes it easy to refine results before exporting.
