Upload a PDF and get its data pushed directly into Google Sheets, no downloading files or manual importing. Works on digital PDFs, scanned documents, and photographed pages.
To convert a PDF to Google Sheets, upload the PDF to Lido. Its AI reads the document's tables, form fields, and layout, whether the PDF is digital, scanned, or a photographed page, and pushes the structured data directly into a Google Sheet. There's no intermediate file to download and re-import: the sheet is live and shareable as soon as processing finishes.
Digital PDF, scanned document, or a photographed page saved as PDF. Lido reads all three the same way.
The AI identifies tables, labeled fields, and document structure, and extracts each value with a confidence score, without a per-document template.
Structured data is pushed directly into a Google Sheet ready to share and edit. Excel, CSV, JSON, and XML export are also available.
A retail chain with stores across a dozen locations collected weekly sales reports as PDFs, emailed in by each store manager. Head office staff previously downloaded each PDF, retyped the figures into a master Excel file, and re-emailed it out for review, a cycle that meant everyone was working from a different version by the time it reached them.
With Lido, each store's PDF report is uploaded and its data is pushed directly into a shared Google Sheet that headquarters and regional managers all view and edit together. No one downloads a file or waits for the latest version to be emailed; the sheet reflects each week's reports as soon as they're processed.
"We used to have a master spreadsheet that lived in someone's inbox. Now the data goes straight into a Google Sheet everyone already has open."
"No more downloading a file, opening it, and importing it somewhere else. The PDF goes in and the Google Sheet just updates."
"Being able to share a link instead of an attachment sounds small, but it removed an entire category of 'which version is this' questions."
A PDF to Google Sheets workflow fits any team already collaborating in Google Workspace: retail and multi-location operations, finance teams tracking reports from multiple sources, and any group that needs one shared, editable source of truth instead of a downloaded file passed around by email. Because the data lands directly in a live sheet, there's no import step and no version drift between copies.
If Excel is your preferred output instead, see Lido for full Excel, CSV, JSON, and XML export. For forms specifically, see form to Excel. For handwritten documents, see handwritten to Excel or how to convert handwriting to Excel. For more guides, visit the Lido blog.

Upload the PDF to Lido. The AI reads its tables, form fields, and layout, then pushes the structured data directly into a Google Sheet, no downloading a file and re-importing it required. The sheet is live and ready to share as soon as processing finishes.
Yes. Lido's AI reads digital PDFs, scanned PDFs, and photographed pages saved as PDF the same way. It doesn't rely on the PDF containing a selectable text layer, so scanned and photographed documents convert to Google Sheets just as reliably as native digital PDFs.
A Google Sheet is live and cloud-based from the moment it's created: it can be shared with a link, edited by multiple people at once, and referenced by other tools without anyone managing file versions or emailing attachments. Excel export is also available for teams that prefer a downloaded file.
Yes. Once the PDF's data lands in Google Sheets, it's a normal, fully editable spreadsheet. Anyone with access can correct values, add columns, apply formulas, or connect it to other Google Workspace tools, the same as any sheet they created manually.
Tables, forms, invoices, reports, statements, and multi-page documents with mixed layouts. Lido reads the PDF's visual structure directly, so it handles digital PDFs, scanned PDFs, and photographed pages without needing a template for each document type.
Lido's AI achieves 99.5% field-level accuracy across digital, scanned, and photographed PDFs. Every extracted value carries a confidence score, so low-confidence fields can be flagged for a quick check before the sheet is finalized.
