Convert scanned PDFs into Excel, even with no text layer

A scanned PDF is just a picture of a page — there's no text to copy and paste. SheetConvert reads the page image directly and extracts the same structured fields and tables it would from a native PDF.

Questions about this conversion.

It isn't, technically — both go through the same AI extraction pipeline, which reads the page as an image rather than relying on embedded text. A scanned PDF simply never had a text layer to begin with.
