With the Table Snip you extract tabular data from PDFs into Excel. Multi-page table detection lets you process large PDF reports in a single Snip.
Video walkthrough
Watch this short video for an overview of Auto Table Snip in action.
What the video covers
The video demonstrates DataSnipper detecting a table inside an imported PDF, the blue suggestion rectangle that appears around it, and a single click to extract the table into the active Excel cell. It also shows adjusting columns and rows after extraction.
Using Table Snip (v6+)
When DataSnipper detects tables in your imported documents, it surfaces a banner in the Document Viewer that lets you snip every detected table across all pages in one click, regardless of whether each table has the same layout.
Step-by-step
Import a PDF containing tables into your DataSnipper workbook.
Open the Document Viewer. A banner labelled Snip all tables appears if tables are detected.
Click Snip all tables to extract every detected table into your workbook. You can also restrict extraction to a page range.
For manual control, press the Table Snip button on the DataSnipper ribbon and draw a rectangle around the table you want.
After the table lands in Excel, drag column or row edges to adjust without having to delete and reapply.
Multi-page tables
Large tables spanning multiple pages are detected automatically. You no longer need to repeat the Table Snip for each page. If you only want a subset, use the page-range option when clicking Snip all tables.
Editing after extraction
Add columns with the plus button at the top of the snip; remove with the minus button.
Add or remove rows by clicking Options on the snip.
In v6+ you can drag column and row boundaries directly to the desired position.
