“Imagine being able to convert 10 pages of PDF to Excel in 1 minute, without typing manually! With Copilot AI, this is not a dream. Check it out!”
Do you often spend hours just copying data from a PDF to Excel one by one? Or maybe your conversion results are usually messy, untidy, or even have errors? Relax, there’s now a fast, free, and highly accurate solution with Copilot AI!
1. Prepare PDF Files to Be Converted
Before starting the conversion process, make sure you’ve prepared a relevant PDF file and have a clear data structure.
Important Tips:
- Standard PDF format (not scan/image PDF) for best results
- Use PDF files that contain tables or structured data for maximum conversion results.
- Avoid files with multiple images, complex layouts, or inconsistent column formats.
- Avoid scanned PDFs (unless using OCR) or password-protected files
Copilot AI works best with text-based data that is easily recognized and processed automatically.

Checking and Saving Conversion Results
Once the conversion process is complete, it is important to manually check the results to ensure that the data structure has been accurately transferred from PDF to Excel. Although Copilot AI is very advanced, sometimes the table structure of a PDF file can lead to inconsistent formatting in Excel.
Once the conversion and editing process is complete, the final step is to save the converted file in .xlsx format so that it can be reused, shared, or archived. You can do this easily through Excel Online or Excel desktop on Windows 11.
