Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You can set a custom delimiter, such as a semicolon instead of a comma, and choose the quote character used to wrap values. Fields containing delimiters, quotes, or line breaks are escaped automatically so the CSV imports cleanly.
You decide. By default all pages are combined into a single CSV with page markers, or you can enable separate files per page. When there are several files, they're bundled together into a ZIP for a single download.
The tool maps each text item's position to detect rows and columns, then aligns cells into a structured grid. It works best on clearly laid-out tables; loosely formatted pages may fall back to simpler row-by-row output.
No, because scanned pages are images and the tool reads embedded text without OCR. For reliable CSV output, use PDFs that contain genuine selectable text rather than photographed or scanned tables.
The converter is free with no account, and all processing stays inside your browser on your device. Your tabular data is never uploaded, so financial or research tables remain confidential while you turn them into CSV.
