PDF to XLSX converter

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format developed by Adobe in the early 1990s and used widely for distributing documents across networks and intranets. PDFs are designed to maintain the formatting of a document, and can contain text, images, hyperlinks, and 3D objects. PDF files are typically much smaller in size than their native counterparts and can be accessed on a range of devices, including mobile and tablet.

PDFs can be protected with passwords or digital signatures to prevent editing. They can also be locked from printing or copying. Furthermore, they offer text searching support, allowing users to easily locate material within a file. PDFs are often used for sharing official documents between organizations due to their security feature-set.

The XLSX file format is a modern extension of the classic XLS file format. It is a Microsoft Excel-sponsored file type designed for storing and exchanging tabular data. An XLSX extension is a collection of multiple binary files stored in an Open Packaging Convention (OPC) container and compressed into one single file.

Due to its compatibility with multiple Office programs and its open XML structure, users can open and edit data stored in an XLSX file easily. Additionally, XLSX files support many features that are not present in the classic XLS file type, such as filters, custom properties, and more robust ways to present data with charts or graphs.
