Why convert PDF to Google Sheets
PDF is great for viewing but not for working with data. Most of the time, documents need to be moved into Google Sheets for reconciliation, record-keeping, or calculations.
This is usually what working with PDFs looks like:
- tables are spread across multiple pages
- the same type of document looks different for each company
- in scanned files, numbers are visible but can’t be copied
- when copying, columns shift and have to be fixed manually
The service works best with PDFs that contain tables, lists, and other structured data.
Below are the most common scenarios where it can be useful.
Accounting documents and reporting
Invoices, delivery notes, and statements often come as PDFs — sometimes as scans — and the data needs to be exported into a spreadsheet for reporting, reconciliation, or analysis. Well suited for regular work with documents from multiple counterparties.
Bank statements and financial documents
A bank statement in PDF is essentially a list of transactions that’s hard to copy cleanly: rows break, columns shift, and payment descriptions fall apart. The service helps bring all transactions into a single Google Sheets table. Useful for expense analysis, report preparation, and financial tracking.
