Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI tool to convert PDF to Excel?

Lido is the most accurate AI tool for converting PDFs to Excel, handling any layout — including scanned, handwritten, and multi-page documents — without templates or manual configuration. Soldier Field saves 20+ hours per week processing invoices through Lido, and ACS Industries automates 400+ purchase orders weekly with complete accuracy.

Can AI accurately extract tables from scanned PDFs to Excel?

Lido extracts tables from scanned PDFs, faxes, and photographed documents with 99%+ field-level accuracy using AI vision models that understand document layout and context. Disney Trucking processes 360,000 pages of handwritten driver tickets annually through Lido, and Erewhon extracts data from dot matrix scans that other tools couldn't read.

How do I convert a PDF to Excel without losing formatting?

Lido preserves table structure, line items, and nested data when converting PDFs to Excel by using AI to understand document layout rather than character-by-character OCR. You describe what to extract in plain language, and Lido outputs structured columns — regardless of whether the source is a clean digital PDF, a scanned document, or a handwritten form.

Is there a free PDF to Excel converter that handles complex documents?

Lido offers 50 free pages to test on your own documents — including scanned, handwritten, and multi-table PDFs that break other converters. It handles complex layouts like nested line items, multi-page tables, and mixed content without templates. Paid plans start at $24/month for 100 pages.
