PDF to XLSX

PDF files often contain tables and structured data that teams need to analyze in spreadsheets. Converting PDF to Excel turns static PDF content into editable worksheet data.

Use this workflow when you need to:

  • Reuse tabular data from reports or invoices
  • Run calculations, sorting, and filtering in Excel
  • Reduce manual reentry from PDF documents

Prepare the project

Register the SDK license before running conversion operations. For setup details, refer to the getting started with .NET SDK guide.

using GdPicture14;


LicenseManager licence = new LicenseManager();
licence.RegisterKEY("");

Create the document converter

Instantiate GdPictureDocumentConverter:

using GdPictureDocumentConverter converter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter();

Load the PDF document

Load the input PDF file:

converter.LoadFromFile(@"input_table.pdf");

For available converter methods, refer to the API reference guide.

Convert PDF to Excel

Save the loaded document as XLSX:

converter.SaveAsXLSX(@"output.xlsx");

Handle errors

LoadFromFile and SaveAsXLSX return GdPictureStatus values. Use those values in your error handling flow. For status-handling patterns, refer to the handling errors with .NET SDK guide.

Conclusion

This guide converts a PDF document to XLSX so you can process extracted table data in Excel.
