I will extract data from your pdfs to excel automatically
Python Automation: Excel Reports, Data and File Workflows
About this Gig
Stacks of PDFs - invoices, delivery notes, order lists, reports - and the data needs to end up in Excel? Retyping costs hours and produces errors. A script does it in minutes, and you can re-run it whenever new PDFs arrive.
I build a custom extraction tool for YOUR document layout: it pulls exactly the fields you need (amounts, line items, dates, numbers, names) from all your PDFs and writes them into a clean, structured Excel file - including a second sheet with every single line item if you want.
How it works:
- You send 2-3 sample PDFs (anonymized/redacted is fine)
- I check for free how reliably the data can be extracted and confirm your package
- You get the tool + a step-by-step guide. Running it = one double-click. No programming skills needed.
Works with text-based PDFs; scanned documents (OCR) available in the Premium package.
Confidential handling of your documents is a given (IT security trained). Please message me before ordering so I can confirm feasibility - for free.

FAQ
Do my PDFs need to look identical?
Within one layout, yes - that's what makes automation reliable. Different layouts (e.g. invoices from different suppliers) are covered by the Standard and Premium packages.
What about scanned PDFs or photos?
Scanned documents need OCR (text recognition) - that's included in the Premium package. Send me a sample and I'll tell you honestly how reliable it will be for your documents.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your files are used only for building your tool, never shared, and deleted after delivery on request. Anonymized samples are perfectly fine for development.
