AlgoDocs, the leading web-based AI platform for data extraction, announced the launch of its free subscription plan. The plan offers 50 pages per month free forever, making it the most convenient solution for those who need to extract tables, meaningful information, and handwritten text.
Obtaining tables from pdf and scanned files can be troublesome, particularly when the documents are scanned. The task can be challenging and exhausting even when the documents are produced digitally. Copying a table from a pdf and putting it in an Excel worksheet is a complex procedure. Furthermore, manual data entry with human involvement leads to errors and is time-consuming.
How to convert pdf or scanned tables to Excel spreadsheets?
You can easily convert pdf tables to Excel spreadsheets with free online tools, as long as the pdf document is a text document (not a scan). However, these tools do not allow you to filter and format the table the way you need. For example, if the table spans multiple pdf pages, you may need to remove the footer and header information. Additionally, you may need to filter out some rows or columns of the table. Extracting tables from scanned documents or low-quality or mobile device-taken images is challenging. AlgoDocs offers a solution to these difficulties.
