Why PDF to Excel Conversions Scramble Cells
PDF is a layout format designed to display lines and words at fixed vector coordinates, but it has no native concept of 'rows', 'columns', or 'tabular structures'. When a standard converter guesses column margins blindly, a single overlapping word can offset the entire ledger.
To achieve 100% accuracy, you need a tool that lets you set column margins manually or uses text-gutter snapping. DocTuner AI's **Pro Grid Tuner** allows you to place vertical column borders and horizontal row dividers visually on the document canvas, generating a clean, formula-ready XLSX file.
