Questions
Why can't I just use File → Import in Google Sheets?
Google Sheets' built-in File → Import accepts CSV, Excel, and ODS — not PDF. PDF is not a spreadsheet format, so you need a converter that reads the PDF's visual structure and outputs structured spreadsheet data.
Does it work if I upload a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are image-based — they have no text layer for Google Sheets to read. PDF2Sheets uses AI vision to read printed content from images, so the upload workflow is identical to a regular PDF.
