ShortTrick does not convert PDFs to spreadsheets. Recovering genuine rows and columns needs table detection, which this site does not run.

ShortTrick does not convert PDFs into spreadsheets. This page sets out why the honest answer here is no.
A PDF records which glyph was painted at which coordinate. There is no row, no column and no cell — a table in a PDF is a visual arrangement of characters, sometimes with lines drawn near them. Recovering real cells means inferring the grid from gaps and rule lines, and that inference comes apart on a wrapped line, a merged cell or a right-aligned figure, shifting an entire column by one. The failure mode is the problem: the file opens cleanly in Excel and looks authoritative while the numbers sit under the wrong headings, and nothing flags it.
No document is parsed on this page, because there is nothing here to give one to. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is kept.
Use PDF to Text, or OCR PDF for a scan, to get the words out, then paste them into a sheet and square up the columns by eye — slower than a converter, but you can see what you are getting.

When to use it
Use this page to understand the limitation. If you only need the words, OCR PDF extracts text locally, and the CSV and JSON tools will reshape data you already have in columns.
How it works
A PDF stores glyphs at coordinates. There are no cells. Rebuilding a table means inferring structure from spacing and rule lines, and that inference is frequently wrong.
Why a confident-looking spreadsheet is the risk
Output that opens cleanly in Excel looks authoritative. If a merged cell or a wrapped line shifted a column, the numbers are wrong and nothing flags it.
