Frequently Asked Questions

Does the converter handle multipage continuous tables?

Yes. Our table extraction algorithms detect cell boundaries, decimal alignments, merged headers, and multipage table structures, generating native XLSX workbooks with unbroken continuous flow across sheet boundaries without manual copying.

How does DocScalar ensure the security of proprietary financial data?

Financial statements and spreadsheets are processed in isolated transient RAM via TLS 1.3 and wiped instantly upon export with zero permanent server logging, cloud caching, or third party exposure.

What is the maximum file size for PDF to Excel conversion?

DocScalar supports files up to 10 MB in instant guest mode with zero registration required, 15 MB for registered free accounts, and up to 1 GB for Pro tier users. All processing executes in isolated memory buffers with zero data retention.

Are numbers converted to real calculation cells?

Yes. Numeric entries are parsed into genuine float and integer spreadsheet cells rather than text strings, enabling immediate calculations, formulas, and chart generation in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
