Frequently asked questions
How are columns detected?
Text fragments on the same horizontal line are grouped into a row, then sorted left-to-right and joined with commas. Works best on cleanly laid-out tables.
Will it handle multi-line cells?
Each visual line becomes one CSV row. For complex tables you may need to clean the result in your spreadsheet app.
