A table in a PDF is only text placed at certain positions; the grid you see is not stored. The converter looks for the vertical gaps that every row leaves empty and uses them as column borders.
Each line of text becomes a row, each block between two gaps a cell. Amounts are stored as real numbers so that sums and formulas work straight away.
How to use the PDF to Excel tool

Tips for the best result
- Convert only the pages with tables: split the PDF first for cleaner columns.
- Check totals against the PDF after converting; a merged cell can shift a value.
