VeryPDF PDF Table Extractor review
A focused desktop tool for manually dividing PDF tables and exporting them.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
VeryPDF PDF Table Extractor is a desktop application for people who need to extract tables from PDFs and save them as Excel (.xls) or CSV files. It is suited to solo users and small teams working with straightforward tables: users load and preview a PDF, select a table area, then save the extracted data. The product is available for Windows and macOS, with a separate Mac version noted by the vendor. Its workflow centers on choosing and dividing table columns rather than broader document automation.
Column handling is the key capability to weigh. Users can draw vertical lines manually to divide a table into columns, then apply those settings to other pages in the same PDF. That offers a way to keep column divisions consistent across a multi-page document without repeating the adjustment on every page. The preview step lets users inspect PDF pages before extraction. This makes the tool a practical fit when tables are simple enough for manual selection and column definition; buyers seeking OCR, an API, or batch processing should look for another option, as these capabilities are not part of the listed desktop feature set.
According to the vendor's pricing page, licenses are one-time purchases: the Single Personal User License is $39.95, the 2-5 Personal User License is $79.95, the Single Commercial User License is $79.95, the 2-5 Commercial User License is $159.95, and the Site License is $349.95. Each plan lists a PDF Table Extractor license. The product details describe a free trial, while the listed plans are paid licenses. Choose this tool for occasional, desktop-based table extraction where manual column setup is acceptable. It is less suitable for teams that need automated processing or a wider extraction workflow.
