Extract tables you already have
People search for extract tables from PDF when they want a preview plus both spreadsheet formats. This page runs the same /extract-pdf-tables job. It is not a second tool in the Tools grid.
Excel keeps every detected table as a sheet. CSV is the first table only. If you want one CSV and nothing else, use /pdf-to-csv. If no table is found, we put the page text in one column.
