Use Nutrient DWS to convert PDF files into XLSX spreadsheets when the workflow needs editable spreadsheet output instead of static PDF tables. Start with a cloud PDF-to-XLSX API built for reporting, exports, analytics, and spreadsheet-ready document workflows.

Convert PDF tables into XLSX output

Use a PDF-to-XLSX API when the workflow needs spreadsheet-ready output for finance, reporting, analysis, and export pipelines.

Built for API-driven spreadsheet exports

Use REST, Postman, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, PHP, or HTTP to automate PDF-to-XLSX conversion inside document processing and reporting systems.

Fast path from evaluation to implementation

Connect XLSX conversion to getting started, pricing, and the broader Office converter hub so teams can validate the right spreadsheet output path quickly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PDF to XLSX via API?

Send a PDF to the PDF-to-XLSX API, and it returns an XLSX spreadsheet with the tables from your document mapped to rows, columns, and cells. See the getting started guide to make your first request.

Does it preserve tables and cell structure?

Yes. Detected tables are converted into spreadsheet rows and columns so the data stays structured and ready for analysis.

What if I only need the table data, not a full spreadsheet?

Use the data extraction API to pull tables and key-value pairs directly into JSON, CSV, or XML.

Which languages and tools are supported?

Call the API over REST or HTTP and integrate it with Java, C#, JavaScript, Python, and PHP, or start in Postman. See supported languages.

How is the PDF-to-XLSX API priced?

It uses the credit-based DWS Processor pricing, with a free tier for evaluation. See Processor API pricing.
