// EXTRACTION LOGIC

Table detection works on text-based and image-based PDFs (OCR fallback). Merged header cells become Excel merged ranges. Numeric formatting is preserved.

// SOURCE-LINKED OUTPUT

Each output sheet includes a header row pointing to the PDF source page and table index, plus a per-cell coordinate mapping in sources.json.

anchor (per value)

{ file, page, table_id, row_id, cell_id, label, value, unit, period }

// FAQ

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes. Image-based PDFs are OCR'd before table detection.

Can it merge multi-page tables?

Yes — tables that continue across pages are stitched into a single sheet.

Are numeric formats preserved?

Currency symbols, thousand separators, and decimal precision are preserved in the Excel output.
