“If only I could convert PDF to Excel on my new iPad. I’ve found an online PDF document and need to convert it back to Excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to do this?”—Carol My friend Carol told me this the otherday. Yes, there are hundreds of PDF to Excel converters for Mac and Windows computers, but seldom for tablets, like iPad. To get the reasons, I asked some programmers. They told me it is very hard for an app running on iPad to convert files because of the tech specifications of the tablet. Normally, the app could slow down the speed or ever cause the frozen thing. So if you are looking for an app to do PDF to excel conversion on iPad, it only wasts your time. But do not give up. A workaround exists. Though you cannot find an app for iPad to convert PDF to Excel spreadsheet, you can do it online. It works. In the following, I am going to tell you my experience of converting PDF to Excel document with Wondershare Free PDF to Excel Online Converter. 1. First, I connected my iPad with the Internet and searched for the PDF I need on the Internet. When I found it, I opened it in Safari. And then copied the URL of the online PDF file. 2. I opened Wondershare Free PDF to Excel Online Converter in Safari. In the box where it reminds you to locate the online PDF, I pasted the URL of the online PDF. 3. There are two options for the output format: xls.(Excel 2007-2010) and (Excel 2003). I selected xls.(Excel 2007-2010) as the output format. 4. Later, after everything is ready, I clicked the Convert button to begin the PDF to Excel conversion on iPad.
In a few second, the conversion was done. A window popped up, asking me to download the output Excel. I clicked the link to get the output Excel spreadsheet. The quality was not bad. -----------------This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
