pdftables.io

pdftables.io is a PDF table extraction service for turning tables in PDF documents into structured outputs such as XLSX, CSV, JSON, and DATEV. It is presented for bank statements, invoices, and financial reports, and it is described as suitable for clean data extraction from messy PDFs.

The service offers a no-code interface and an API. Its core functions include uploading a PDF, choosing up to five pages, extracting all tables, and downloading results. It also supports page selection, table preview before download, mass download of all data, and job-based tracking with status and metadata. The product page says it is designed for tricky layouts, including multi-row and complex headers, and it includes optional OCR-assisted extraction for scanned PDFs without text layers. It also provides AI-powered column mapping, content mapping, and predefined templates for DATEV, Xero, QuickBooks, and other formats, with the option to create custom structures.

Documentation for the API is included, with endpoints for upload, extraction status, and download. The API flow described on the page uses a file upload, a job ID, status polling, and download of extracted tables. The service is framed for finance and controlling, accounting, tax, audit, procurement, operations, data and BI teams, developers, SaaS builders, individuals, and freelancers. It is also described as useful for recurring PDF workflows, standardized outputs, and automation in ETL and internal workflows.

Pricing starts with a free plan that requires no credit card and includes the first five pages free. The page also mentions upgrades for more capacity and features. Security notes on the page say files and extracted data are stored encrypted, that the system uses zero-knowledge handling, that encryption mechanisms are post-quantum safe, that files are automatically deleted after 30 days for configurable Pro/Team users, and that storage uses Amazon S3 infrastructure.
