CHUKWU CORE · PDF → EXCEL CONVERTER

PDF to Excel. Mapped however you want.

Built for fashion wholesale. Reads any buyer PDF — text or scanned — detects tables by position, and lets you map every column to Excel exactly the way you want. Saves your mapping. One-click conversion forever after.

WHAT GENERIC PDF→EXCEL TOOLS DON'T DO

  • None of them know "WSP" and "Wholesale" are the same column. You re-map every time.
  • None of them save your mapping for the next PO from the same buyer.
  • None of them concatenate a 12-page PO into one sheet.
  • None of them push line items straight into your order queue.

HOW IT WORKS

01

Drop the PDF

Purchase order, invoice, line sheet, packing list. Text or scanned. One page or a hundred. Multiple tables per page.

02

Tables detected automatically

Positional reconstruction: every text run captured with its X/Y, then clustered into aligned rows and columns. No dependency on specific markers or fonts.

03

Map to Excel

Each Excel column = table column, regex, after-label, line number, literal, or expression ({{col0}} - {{header:Style}}). Per-column transforms (trim / number / date / default).

04

Save or send

Download as .xlsx or .csv. Or tag the style/qty/price columns and push straight into the Chukwu Core orders queue. Save the mapping as a template for 1-click next time.

QUESTIONS

Does it work on scanned PDFs with no text?+

The system detects when a PDF contains only an image and tells you that image recognition is required. PDFs containing text are converted directly.

What if every buyer sends a different PDF?+

That's exactly the use case. You create one mapping template per buyer format. Every subsequent PO from that buyer converts in one click.

Can I use it without the rest of Chukwu Core?+

Yes — the converter works standalone (Excel/CSV download). But the 10× advantage is direct ingest into the Chukwu Core queue.

How is it priced?+

Included in any Chukwu Core deployment. Fixed price based on your operation. Book a call for a quote.
