Batch Convert PDFs to Excel

Process hundreds of PDF documents to formatted Excel spreadsheets automatically. Upload in bulk, connect email, or link cloud storage for hands-free conversion.

Why batch processing matters

One PDF to Excel? Takes a minute. Five hundred? That's someone's entire week — unless you automate it.

I worked with a logistics company processing about 200 freight invoices every Monday. One person, manually uploading and downloading each one. By Wednesday they were still doing Monday's pile. The backlog never cleared.

Lido handles batch conversion three ways: drag-and-drop bulk upload, email automation (connect Gmail or Outlook and PDFs process as they arrive), and cloud drive polling (link Google Drive or OneDrive — new files convert automatically every five minutes). Each document gets processed independently by the vision model. Different vendors, different layouts, doesn't matter.

Three ways to automate intake

1. Email auto-forwarding. This is the one that changes people's workflow the most. Set up a dedicated address, forward vendor invoices or bank statements to it, and structured Excel output appears without anyone touching a button. I've seen AP teams cut their Friday data entry from four hours to zero with just this step.

2. Cloud drive integration. Link a Google Drive or OneDrive folder. Drop a PDF in, and within five minutes it's been extracted and the data's waiting in your spreadsheet. No cron jobs, no scripts to maintain. Just a folder that does magic.

3. Bulk upload. Got a backlog? Drag the whole pile in — 50 files, 500, it doesn't matter. They process in parallel and results consolidate into one output. We tested 300 invoices at once last month. Four minutes. The manual alternative would've been two full days.

How the output comes together

Most people worry about getting a jumbled mess when they batch-process different document types. You won't. Lido gives you options: individual Excel files (one per PDF), a single consolidated spreadsheet with one row per document, or structured JSON via the API.

In my experience, the consolidated spreadsheet is what 90% of teams want — it's immediately ready for pivot tables, VLOOKUP, or direct import into QuickBooks or Xero. One file, all your data, no assembly required.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert hundreds of PDFs to Excel at once?

Yes. Batch PDF to Excel conversion processes hundreds or thousands of files automatically. Upload documents in bulk, connect an email inbox for automatic processing, or link a Google Drive or OneDrive folder. Lido processes each PDF independently using layout-agnostic AI and consolidates all results into a single Excel spreadsheet, CSV, or Google Sheet.

How does automated PDF to Excel conversion from email work?

You connect a dedicated email address and every PDF attachment that arrives is automatically converted to Excel without manual intervention. This is ideal for recurring documents like monthly bank statements, vendor invoices, or supplier reports. Lido supports Gmail and Outlook, processing PDF attachments in seconds and delivering structured Excel data to your preferred destination.
