How does this detect tables?

We group text by its position on the page — text on the same line becomes a row, and gaps between text become column breaks. There's no manual grid selection.

Will this work on any PDF?

It works best on simple, gridded tables with clear spacing between columns. Scanned images, merged cells, and tightly packed text may not split into columns correctly — always check the preview before downloading.

Does it extract regular paragraph text too?

It will try to turn every line into a CSV row, so non-table text ends up as single-column rows. This tool is built for tables — for plain text, use PDF to Text instead.

How are multiple pages handled?

Every page's rows are combined into one CSV file, in page order.
