 PDF files are the most commonly used file format in electronic documents. Their ability to be viewed from a broad range of environments makes them important for exchanging data. However, one of the most common problems associated with PDF document is their conversion to other format for modification or for different usage. Let's consider a situation. You have got a ton of data already formatted in PDF and you don't want to waste your time by manually re-entering those data into an Excel sheet. So what to do in that situation? Fortunately, in that situation, PDF multi-tool will come to the rescue. With PDF multi-tool, you can convert your PDF document to Excel, CSV, JSON or XML in a matter of seconds. So let's see how easily you can convert your PDF files to the other formats. Now let me open one sample file. Alright, say I want to convert this PDF content into an Excel spreadsheet. So for that, you need to click on this link. After clicking on that link, you can see this window where you can see the different options like column detection mode. This column detection mode defines how columns are detected on the document page. By default, this mode is content group and borders. And then there is a line grouping mode. This mode controls how text lines are merged in table cells. Default mode is none. It means no line grouping. Each line is processed as a single row. And then there is an option to keep font style and sizes intact. So when you convert your PDF document to say Microsoft Excel, then PDF multi-tool optimizes conversion capacities to assure that the original format and data transfer is accurate. And then if PDF contains page number, then this option helps to detect it while conversion. And then this option helps us for say if your PDF contains multiple pages, then do you want to convert it to a separate worksheet? Okay, and then this section contains OCR related options. One of the most important features of PDF multi-tool is it uses AI powered OCR technology. It means if your PDF contains scanned document, then it can easily apply these OCR related filters and turn that PDF file to an editable Excel spreadsheet. I have already explained this option in the previous video. So let's not discuss it here. Now when you click on extract to file button, then this utility automatically open generated file and it also open the location of that file. So let me click on this button. So now it asked me to save the file. So let me save the file and this is it. All your PDF data are now in this Excel sheet easy, right PDF multi-tool offers a powerful and yet easy to use set of option to manipulate PDF files. You can also achieve the same functionality using online PDF.co web API. So let me open postman and see this feature using web API in action. All right. Before we go ahead, first, let us understand how you can use PDF.co web API to convert your PDF to XLS or XML or JSON. So first of all, this is our URL, which we want to invoke to convert our PDF to XLS. And this is our required parameter. So first of all in the header, you need to set your registered API key. And after setting the API key, you need to set some required parameter or some optional parameter here as sync and encrypt are the optional parameter and required parameter is the URL. So this URL contains a sample PDF file, which we want to convert an XLS. And then we need to specify the name of the output file. And if your PDF is password protected, then you need to specify the password. And then here are some optional input parameter. And when you invoke this API, you will get an output in JSON, something like this. So let's see this API in action in postman. All right. So here in the postman, I have already set the required input parameter for this API. The first required input parameter is the URL. This URL contains a sample PDF file, which we want to convert into Excel. So let's open this URL. So this is the PDF file, which we want to convert into an Excel. And the other input parameter is the name of the output file. And then you need to set the password if your PDF is password protected. And then last but very important parameter is to set the API key in the header. So let me set the API key in the header. And now we are ready to invoke this API. So let us click on this send button. So here you can see that we have successfully get our response in JSON. And you can get our converted Excel file from this URL. So let me click on this URL. Now let us open our converted Excel file from this URL. So it will ask me to save the file. Let me save the file. Now let us open that file. And this is it. So this is how you can use pdf.co web API to convert your PDF document to Excel sheet. All right. Now in the next part, we will explore how you can play with PDF using document parser template editor tool. So till then stay tuned.
