I really enjoyed your informative video! You might want to consider using the VeryPDF PDF to Excel Converter. This Windows software automatically converts PDF files into Excel spreadsheets and can even combine multiple PDF files into one while preserving formatting.
Thanks for the tutorial. I had to install Office 356 to get more of these options. On my excel sheet - 1. I do not get the Get Data from file - PDF option. 2. The from folder option to a point of Combine and Load says - “We do not recognise the format of your first file. Please filter the list of files so it contains only supported types (Text, CSV, Excel workbooks, etc.) and try again.
This was amazing TY! The pdf I'm working with has paragraph sections for example 1.1 text, 1.2 text, 1.3 text etc that I need to put into a table. This is going to be labor intensive. Your video is brilliant!
Darn it. I have been trying to do this with the project I’m working on. The data is in multiple tables. Each pdf has 7 tables with different kind of data related to the product. Can’t get it to work. Perhaps you could in a future video make an example with importing that many tables into Excel. Thanks
Hi Kevin, wow that was so helpful! What if my multiple pdf files have different tables on different sheets that I need. How do I select those. They have the same table layout but 1 pdf might have a table on 2 different pages and another pdf might just have 1 table that I need. Do you perhaps have a video on that?
excelent video. I'm having trouble with configuring the import of data because my pdfs have many pages. How do I format the transform to include all the pages in each original pdf?
Great video Kevin. But why can't I see the "From Pdf" option from the get data option and then when I click from file the from pdf option is not visible.
Hello , Is it possible to convvert selective pages of pdf file into excel spreadsheet. I receive a pdf file of 200 pages and i want to convert only few pages of it into excel . Is it possible or not ?
Ha, thanks Tyler! I've been spending my nights binge watching Casey Faris TH-cam videos th-cam.com/users/CaseyFaris777 He's quickly become one of my favorites. He has some epic tutorials on using DaVinci Resolve and the Fusion page for compositing.
@@KevinStratvert I use Adobe premiere pro now and just taught myself how to use it so trying to master it, but now I am like hmmm do I teach myself DaVinci Resolve now😂
Please provide the Free Download Link for the MICROSOFT OFFICE 365. If it is possible can you please make a Video on How to download and Install Free Microsoft Office 365 please!
Hi Kevin, can you do a video on Visual Studio and discuss (with Tutorials) on C, C++, C# and Visual Basic (especially from a Windows Office view - where it can sill be used)
Great video and tutorial Kevin. I've just been introduced to this pdf to excel feature and want to use it to grab my monthly bank statements and insert into excel. However, my pdfs usually consist of two pages and 3 or 4 tables. The first one is irrelevant as it consists of my account, name, balances and various notes and comments. The actual data I want is in the other ones. Could you do a demo on how to do something like that? The idea of automatically adding a new month's worth of data is very exciting. Thanks
I think the time is different today in Seattle when it is uploaded in 00:00 am and that time is equal to 1:30 pm in India but today 00:00 am in Seattle = 12:30 pm
Excellent Work n video!!! Learn lot from it. Is there any pdf add-in fro office 2019 stand alone instalation? I dont see that import from pdf option in get data button
Thanks for the great video. I seem to be struggling with the same issue that many other users have made a comment on. This method only seems to work if all tables on each pdf is only in the 1st page. Any thoughts on how to combine all tables from each pdf that might be longer than a page?
Hi Kevin, great video thanks. Quick question, the pdf I deal with have some formatting ie: highlighted cells. Is there a way to get those formatting can be transferred to the excel spreadsheet? Thank you
It doesn't work for financial or bank statements and I tried but Only saw Nonsense letters and Characters so it doesn't work. Could you do a video particularly addressing how to do the same thing for bank statements? I have struggled with this for years now and the only method I know which works most of the time is to used third party services says or apps and that can be A little disconcerting to upload her financial statements into another website so if we could get A faster and more convenient method that would be very helpful.
"From pdf" not showing in my Excel (MS Office 2019 Plus) and I want to "import" multiple pdf files. Can you help please. I am aware of the single file workaround with "= Pdf.Tables(File.Contents....", but is is only for a single file. Is there away to add multiple files?

Does not work with my copy of Excel 365. Data\Get Data\Get Data From File causes Excel to freeze almost from the moment I click on it. I tried clearing the Power Query cache but that didn't help. And in the most recent versions of Excel 365, Microsoft removed the option to disable hardware acceleration, so I can't do that either.
How are you? I want to see the another PDF to excel demonstration from you for APPEND QUERY, which would contain various tables and various other information. Thanks,
I've tried to import PDF data with Excel. something is not working, when I select Data, there is no section to import data...what's missing? Very frustrating to say the least!
I need some help with this. I tried it on my own PDF documents, but get an error when I try to convert the number, shown as text. The rror message is DataFormat.Error: We couldn't convert to Number.
what if you do not get the drop down list "from file" and the option "from PDF" I have microsoft 365 and it doesn't give the same drop down list. I think it would be good to let others know, other wise its a piece of cake when it all works fine and dandy............
Dear Kevin, Would it be possible to convert a PDF file that has 1000 pages? In the Navigator window I see it difficult to select all 1000 tables manually and I do not see the option of mass selection.
I was trying this data but when ur pdf table values are long for example stanfordhospital university. When u try to transform data it gets adjusted in 2-3 rows in excel and whole data gets overlapped or chaotic
Hello Kevin, I tried this and it worked but when I tried to do it again with other pdfs, when I click on the file to go into excel it showed on the Display Options but when I click on the folder or the pages, they are blank, what am i doing wrong? Help, Help!!!
hello kevin i canwt understand why when i want to convert PDF folder after i have the sample file edited and i cancel the last step all the other pdf file do not uoloaded and i get a row with errorrs???? and i'm following your video step by step?????!!!!
it seems like the latest version of excel doesn't allow you to do this. when i click on 'get data' there is no dropdown that looks like that, it's much smaller. there is no get data from file option. weird cos i have used your technique to do this before i have no idea why office would take this function away?
I have multiple excel in some excel data is available in table 3 and in some excel same data is available in table 4 . So how to transform both table? Pl support me
For a one page simple invoice this is fine. I have never experienced a single page simple invoice in my entire career and unfortunately this video was not helpful.
Kevin - loved the video as I often find myself typing data into Excel from pdfs. I jumped on my work computer to try it out and found the option for pdf files wasn't there. Distinctly missing from the drop down that seemed to have all the other file types. I checked with some other people in different countries and it was the same story. (they all seemed to like your video!) I'm assuming our IT group flipped a switch somewhere and disabled that functionality. Any idea what that would have been and why?
Great video and explaination. However my stand alone install (v2016) NOT 365, does not have the intial choices of file types. PDF is not in the list. Downloading the the msi and reinstalling is redundant as the installer tells me immediately it is already installed. So I sense I am missing something. How do I configure to expose the same choices as your video. This is a great option for me as I currently use Powershell scripts, for the the same task which is very tedious. Can anyone help here. Thanks a lot.
HI KEVIN, when importing data from pdf to excel using power query getting error! Unable to connect we encountered an error while trying to connect. Details. " The preview for section1/01 Jan/Source doesn't exist." Note: 01 Jan is my file name File contains more than 7000 pages. How to fix this issue/ do we have any limitations for importing pdf to excel? Thanks!
Hi Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I have one more question I would like to integrate SAGE INTACCT and Dynamics to exchange data on customer through the webservices account. Or any other way as long the two platform will communicate.
Thanks for the informative video. Need more tips and help on the Power Query. Changing column widths and data type (you showed the detech function but how to tell the column should be $$) Thanks you!
Issue: when I add new responses it changes all the formatting I did on the Excel side. For example I expanded some columns to get it to where the text on the header was wrapped. That is gone when I hit refresh. What am I doing wrong? I am uploading from a CSV file instead of a PDF (it started as a PDF).

I had the same challenge. However, I did discover the append option in the ribbon. Kinda messy, but it did work.

Great video Kevin. But why can't I see the "From Pdf" option from the get data option and then when I click from file the from pdf option is not visible.
same here. could we use another option instead?

OK , I found it to be license specific. 365 will work as shown but a stand alone licence (non-SaaS) will not.
There is no mention of which version of Excel you need to do this as the version I am using doe not have that import option...
