Tamil PDF to Word and Excel

What works

Printed Tamil text on scanned pages is read with OCR, page by page. If your page also has English words, choose the Tamil + English option in Convert.
For digital PDFs (with real text, not a photo), Convert puts each table into its own Excel sheet. The sample below is a scan, so it does not test this.
You get both a Word file and an Excel file from one upload.
Files up to 15 MB and 40 pages each.

Tables on scanned pages are not rebuilt: Convert writes each line as a plain Word paragraph, so table text comes out as loose lines, not cells.
Very faint or handwritten scans may come out rough.
English words on a page converted with Tamil only can come out garbled. Use the Tamil + English option for mixed pages.
Check important results against the original.

Real output, 2026-10-15. One test page with a heading, two paragraphs and a small table, put through Convert as a scan. Nothing below is edited.

Text accuracy on this page: 92.9% of characters match the source (measured as 1 - Levenshtein/len, whitespace removed, vs source strings). One page is not a benchmark.
Table kept as a table: no.
Heading Latin text garbled; two words in paragraph 1 merged ('மாதிரிஆவணம்'); highest-error Indic page was still best of the three.
Text length slightly short (trailing text loss).
Convert's OCR path writes every line as a plain Word paragraph: the 3x3 table was NOT rebuilt as a Word table (docx has 0 tables); cell text survives as loose lines.
Page-level OCR only; xlsx from Convert was fetched but not evaluated.
