Why don't scanned PDFs convert?

PDFs from a scanner or a phone camera are photos of pages; they contain no selectable text. The text has to be recognised first. With a free account you can use Ai's text recognition.

Getting tables into Excel

To calculate with the tables in a document, choose Excel (XLSX) on the same page. For plain text only, the TXT option gives the simplest result.
