Frequently asked questions

Can PDF to Excel extract BOQs?

It can help extract readable text and table-like content, but complex BOQs should always be checked against the original PDF.

Why do some tables need cleanup?

Merged cells, scans, narrow columns, and multi-line descriptions can shift data during conversion.

Should I rely on converted totals?

No. Always verify quantities, rates, formulas, VAT, and totals before using converted data for pricing decisions.
