Why choose iFillPDF
AI borderless table detection

Free Tesseract 5 LSTM OCR
Built-in OCR across 80+ languages on every plan, vs Smallpdf ($9/mo) and Adobe Acrobat where OCR is Pro-only.
Multi-sheet ISO 29500 output
One sheet per source page or one merged sheet — true ISO/IEC 29500 OOXML (.xlsx), also exportable to ISO/IEC 26300 ODF (.ods) for LibreOffice Calc.

Frequently asked questions
Is PDF to Excel really free on iFillPDF?+
Yes — free with a watermark and 0 AI Deep Detect, no credit card and free Tesseract 5 LSTM OCR included. Adobe Acrobat Pro charges $19.99/mo with OCR Pro-only, Smallpdf $9/mo with OCR Pro-only, iLovePDF Premium $7/mo, ABBYY FineReader PDF $199/yr perpetual, Nanonets pay-per-page above 500 pages/mo. Solid Documents PDF to Excel is desktop-only at $79.95 perpetual. On iFillPDF, Start is $8.99/mo for 8 AI Deep Detect/mo.
Will scanned bank statements and 1099 forms come out clean?+
Yes for digitally generated PDFs (Excel → PDF → Excel) where rows and columns map 1:1. For scanned IRS Form 1099-NEC, W-2, Schedule C and bank statements, our AI plus Tesseract 5 LSTM OCR rebuilds the table even without ruling lines — check the first sheet before bulk-processing 200+ page batches. Solid Documents and ABBYY FineReader handle scans similarly but require desktop install and per-seat licensing.
Is my financial data safe and Sarbanes-Oxley compliant?+
Yes — files are processed in Hetzner Falkenstein (eu-central-1) under EU TADPF and UK ICO frameworks, encrypted AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, auto-purged within 24h. Per-cell metadata audit trail is clean enough for Sarbanes-Oxley §404 internal controls and IRS Pub 583 record-keeping. We never train AI on your PDFs, unlike most US-based competitors whose ToS reserve training rights. FRCP Rule 34 ESI production is supported via stable file hashes.
Are Excel formulas and merged cells preserved?+
Cell values are extracted as ISO/IEC 29500 OOXML values — formulas embedded in source PDFs are converted to their computed result (PDFs do not store live formula expressions; only Excel-native .xlsx does). Merged cells and multi-row headers are detected by AI and rebuilt in the .xlsx grid. For full formula round-tripping, keep the original .xlsx; iFillPDF is the recovery tool when only the PDF is left.
