Frequently Asked Questions
What if my PDF has no real table borders?
The engine uses whitespace alignment to infer columns even in borderless tables.
Can it extract multiple tables from one page?
Yes — each detected table is placed on a separate worksheet tab.
Does it handle scanned bank statements?
Yes — OCR is applied to image-based PDFs, then table detection runs.
What about negative numbers and currency symbols?
Numeric parsing preserves parenthetical negatives, dollar signs, and comma-formatted numbers.
