How do I convert a multi-table PDF into multiple Excel sheets?
bnbff detects each separate table in a multi-section gridlined PDF and writes one sheet per table — using the section header as the sheet name, and adding a Notes sheet for any prose pages. When a single PDF holds several distinct gridlined tables — a price list, then a spec table, then a returns table — bnbff keeps them apart instead of mashing everything onto one tab. Each detected table lands on its own worksheet, embedded photos rebuilt into their cells, and rows that span several pages are stitched back together first. This works on real spreadsheet-style PDFs with vector gridlines; a scanned or designed catalog with no grid has no table boundaries to detect, so bnbff declines it for free rather than guess.

The mechanism
bnbff scans the PDF for each self-contained gridlined table, splits them apart at their section boundaries, and writes every table onto its own worksheet in a single .xlsx.
What bnbff can and can't do
Works
Spreadsheet-style PDFs with real vector gridlines — tables exported from Google Sheets or Excel, including multi-section documents (one sheet per detected table) and any column headers.
Doesn't work
Scanned or image-only PDFs and designed, laid-out catalogs with no gridlines. There is nothing structured to read, so bnbff declines them for free rather than charge you for a file it can't build.
Frequently asked
Does each table in the PDF get its own sheet?
Yes. bnbff detects each separate gridlined table in a multi-section PDF and writes one worksheet per table, naming each sheet from its section header where there is one, and it collects any prose pages onto a separate Notes sheet.
Does it handle multi-page and multi-table PDFs?
Yes. Rows across every page are stitched into one sheet, and when a PDF holds several separate tables you get one sheet per detected table.
What kind of PDF works?
A spreadsheet-style PDF with real gridlines — a table exported from Google Sheets or Excel. Scanned pages and designed catalogs without gridlines don't work, and bnbff declines those for free rather than charge you.
How are the photos handled?
Every embedded photo is rebuilt into its own cell — the real picture, right where it belongs. bnbff takes each embedded picture from the PDF and reconstructs it inside the exact Excel cell it came from.
How much does it cost?
The first 5 rows are a free, real .xlsx sample so you can check the result. The full file is a one-off $3 — no account and no subscription.
