No tables detected

The PDF doesn't appear to contain structured tables with consistent column alignment. Common reasons: scanned PDF, flowing text, or tables drawn purely as graphics. Try the PDF to Word tool to extract the text content instead.

No transactions detected

The bank name was identified from the filename, but no transactions could be parsed from this PDF.

This usually means the PDF is scanned/image-based or uses a layout the parser doesn't recognise yet. Download your statement as Excel (.xlsx) directly from your bank's net banking portal — that file will open directly in Excel without any conversion.

How to Convert PDF Tables to Excel Online — No Upload Required

LovelyPDF's PDF to Excel tool has two modes. For general PDFs it uses a column-clustering algorithm to detect and extract tables. For bank statements it switches automatically to a smart bank parser that understands the column layout of HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, IDFC FIRST, Federal, Union, and Karnataka Bank statements.

Bank Statement Mode

When the filename contains a recognised bank name (e.g. "HDFC_Statement_Apr24.pdf"), the tool automatically switches to bank statement mode. It extracts Date, Description, Debit, and Credit columns and adds a Summary sheet with totals and date range. The output Excel is clean and compatible with Tally import, expense trackers, and accounting software.
