Dozens of PDF documents are sitting on my drive with clean, well-structured tables that I need to analyze in Excel. Your job is to lift every row and column exactly as it appears in each PDF and place it into a neatly organised workbook, preserving numerical accuracy and column headers.

The source material is 100 % digital—no scans or handwriting—so the focus is on precise table recognition and transfer rather than OCR cleanup. I’m happy for you to use whichever method suits you best (Power Query, Python/pandas, Tabula, Abbyy, manual work in Acrobat, etc.) as long as the final spreadsheet mirrors the tables in layout and content.

Deliverables
• One Excel file per PDF, or a single multi-sheet workbook if you prefer, with each original table on its own sheet.
• All text, numbers, dates, and currency values entered exactly as shown in the PDFs.
• No merged cells unless they exist in the source; column widths can be adjusted for readability.

Acceptance criteria
Data spot-checks between the PDFs and your workbook should show 100 % match on values and header labels, and the file must open error-free in the latest desktop version of Excel.

Let me know your estimated turnaround time and the approach you plan to use so we can get started right away.
