Free PDF to CSV Converter

A PDF stores text at fixed positions on a page. It has no idea which words make up a question, which are options and which line is the answer. A PDF to CSV converter rebuilds that structure and writes it as rows and columns.

This tool is made for question papers, mock tests and worksheets. It finds where each question starts, splits the options (A, B, C, D or 1, 2, 3, 4, also when they sit on one line), reads the answer key and the solutions section, and links each diagram to its question. Other PDFs can be converted page by page as plain text with the Not a question paper option.

CSV, short for comma-separated values, is the simple table format described in RFC 4180. Almost every spreadsheet, database and website importer can read it.

Yes. Pages that are only an image, such as a scan or a photo, are read with text recognition that runs inside your browser. English, Hindi and papers that mix both are supported, and Hindi stays in Devanagari rather than being turned into Roman letters.

Text recognition is never perfect. Clean scans give very good results, while faint photocopies or phone photos can have mistakes. That is why scanned pages are marked and every question can be compared with its page before you download.

Answers are taken in this order: an answer printed with the question (Ans: B, उत्तर: ख), an answer key section or table, then a solutions section. Keys written as 1. B, 1-B, 1 (2) or as a two-row grid are understood, and option numbers are converted to letters for you.

If the PDF does not give an answer, the answer stays empty. The tool does not solve questions or guess from the solution text.

Diagrams, graphs, tables and pictures are cut out as PNG images and linked to the question they belong to, including a diagram at the top of the next page. Repeated logos and watermarks are left out.

If you already import questions into a website, an app or a test platform, upload a CSV that has your column names in the first row. Columns such as Q No, Question, Option A, q_hi, Answer or Explanation are matched automatically, in English and Hindi.

For any column you can choose a field from the PDF, the same value in every row (for example the exam name), or a pattern such as {subject}-Q{number}. Columns the PDF has no data for, such as chapter or difficulty, stay empty rather than being invented.

No. The converter is a program that runs in your browser tab. The PDF is opened from your device, read in memory and never sent to Etemora or anyone else. When you press Clear this file or close the tab, it is gone.

Only the converter itself is downloaded from etemora.com, together with the text recognition data the first time a scanned page needs it.

Digital PDFs made from Word or LaTeX convert very accurately. A few layouts still need a quick look, and the tool flags them: formulas built with an equation editor that come out in pieces, an option printed inside a stacked fraction, or a question that mentions a figure but has no image.

Use the Need a check filter to see only these questions, fix them next to the original page, then create the CSV.
