How to Fill an Excel Sheet from PDFs
Typing values from many invoices, bills or forms into a sheet is slow and easy to get wrong. PDF to Excel Fillup reads each PDF, looks for your headings and fills the rows for you.
Before you start
Make an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file with your headings in row 1, for example Invoice No, Date, Customer, Amount. Use the same words as the PDF.
Fill the Excel, step by step
- Choose Your PDF (single or batch).
- Choose Your Excel with the same headers.
- Pick Fast Fill or OCR Fill in the panel on the right.
- Click Fill the Excel and check the table. Click a cell to correct it.
- Download the filled Excel.
Fast Fill or OCR Fill?
- Fast Fill: reads the text of the PDF. Quick, and right for most files.
- OCR Fill (crown icon): also reads every page as a picture and compares the two readings. Slower, but it can catch values the text alone misses.
Tips
- Empty cells are marked, so you see at once what was not found.
- If a heading is not found, check that it uses the same words as the PDF, or type the value yourself.
- When a PDF holds a table with your headings, every row of the table is filled in.
- For scanned PDFs, leave the language on Auto or choose English, Bengali or Hindi.
Frequently asked questions
Are the rows already in my Excel kept?
Yes. Your rows stay as they are, and the new rows follow them.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The Excel and the PDFs are read inside your browser.
