How it works
From scan to structured spreadsheet
A scanned PDF does not contain selectable text, so ordinary converters have nothing to copy into Excel. OCR is the first step: it recognizes the characters visible in the page image.
Parsinto adds the second step that spreadsheet workflows need. It maps recognized text to named fields and repeating table columns, lets a person review the result, and exports the structured data as XLSX or CSV.

FAQ
Questions about scanned PDF to Excel
Why can’t I copy text from my scanned PDF?+
A scan stores a picture of the page rather than selectable characters. OCR must recognize the text before it can be structured for Excel.
What scan quality works best?+
Straight, well-lit pages with readable text produce the best results. Review is especially important for blurred, skewed, or low-resolution files.
Can it extract tables from scans?+
Yes. Define the table columns you need and Parsinto can map OCR results into repeating rows.
Can I process a batch of scans?+
Yes. Add related files to a Box and apply the same extraction structure to the batch.
