PDF to Excel for BOQs
Upload a PDF BOQ or quotation and download a spreadsheet you can work with: one row per item, section headings kept, and the amount as a live formula.
Free: 3 a week, PDFs up to 50 pages. PRO: no weekly limit. Tools never use your comparison allowance.
What you get
- Items as rows, in reading order, with section headings and the PDF’s own total lines kept.
- The Amount column as a working Qty × Rate formula, with the PDF’s figure beside it.
- Rows where the formula and the PDF disagree are highlighted.
- Everything outside the table on an “Other text” sheet.
- Lines that look like items but couldn’t be split into columns are flagged, never left out.
| Item | Description | Qty | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4 | Power cable, 4 core, 16 mm² | 100 | 18.50 | =C5*D5 → 1,850.00 |
