Overview

ComPDF Conversion SDK supports converting PDF documents to Microsoft Excel format (.xlsx). By extracting, parsing, and importing data from PDF into Excel, users can further edit, analyze, or share Excel files.

Excel Options

When converting PDF files to Excel files, pay attention to the following options:

• excel_all_content: If enabled, the converted XLSX file contains all content in the PDF.
• excel_worksheet_option: Controls how worksheets are created.

Option	Description
e_CForTable	Create one sheet for one table.
e_CForPage	Create one sheet for one PDF page.
e_CForDocument	Create one sheet for the entire PDF document.

Sample

CConvertOption option = CPDF_DefaultConvertOption();
CPDF_StartPDFToExcel(CPDF_TEXT("excel.pdf"), CPDF_TEXT("password"), CPDF_TEXT("path/output.xlsx"), option, NULL);

option.excel_all_content = true;
option.excel_worksheet_option = e_CForDocument;
CPDF_StartPDFToExcel(CPDF_TEXT("excel.pdf"), CPDF_TEXT("password"), CPDF_TEXT("path/output_all.xlsx"), option, NULL);
