Hello, KoLoLoLo

No, we do not have any Table creation functions at the moment. The closest that we can offer is an OCR function which, when processing a document with clear table like elements and text, lines will be drawn within the document.

Kind regards,

Hi all,

not sure if this helps, however tables can be copied from Word or Excel and pasted with excellent (vector-graphics) quality from the clipboard into a PDF using -- of course -- PDF-XChange Editor.

Best regards

Hi KoLoLoLo,

There is the feature to generate a PDF file from a CSV file. Probably not the feature KoLoLoLo is looking for, though.

  • From CSV File

The easiest way to do it is probably like this:

From Word:
  • In Word, copy the table in question (or any content, for that matter)
  • open the Thumbnail Pane in PDF-XChange Editor
  • right click on any page in the thumbnail pane
  • select "Paste as RTF"
  • a new page containing the table will be inserted after the page you had clicked on
From Excel:
  • In Excel, copy the table in question
  • open the Thumbnail Pane in PDF-XChange Editor
  • right click on any page in the thumbnail pane
  • select "Paste as MF" (Metafile)
  • a new page containing the table will be inserted after the page you had clicked on
Hth & cheers
