Vellum finds the tables in a PDF document from where the text sits on the page — the gutters that repeat from one line to the next define the columns — and returns them as an Excel workbook (.xlsx) with one sheet per page, or as a CSV file using the semicolon Excel expects in Switzerland and Europe. Amounts written the Swiss way, such as 1’234.50, are recognised as numbers, while ambiguous values stay as text instead of being converted wrongly. A preview shows the detected rows before download, and a document without a regular grid can be exported line by line. Everything is computed on your device.
