Regarding questions we received!

First things first, we wish to reiterate information about our project.

This is a free, digital-only zine with no merchandise, nothing physical, and nothing to purchase. There will be a PDF file in the end that everyone can download, and it will be distributed through itch.io.

This zine is open to ages 13 and above, and as such, it is completely SFW with no NSFW content or discussion allowed (like on our Discord server). Depictions of violence, gore, or other potentially sensitive content should be no worse than the level seen in the original PMMM series.

The core theme for our zine is vast and open-ended:

The meaningful relationships between a couple characters of choice, which can be platonic or familial rather than romantic. Contributors have the freedom to make up whatever story or art concept they want to create for the character pairs they want to focus on, so long as our guidelines are followed.

They are free to come up with their own pitches for what they want to draw or write, but we can assist with providing further themes or ideas if wanted. In order to ensure a level of variety, we will be providing feedback and reviewing all pitches before accepting them.

Contributors will all be invited to our Discord server for the zine, and will be able to choose how they are credited in this project.

Contributors are allowed to create up to two submissions if they wish to, but no more than that.

For more information on how contributors will be accepted, applications, and submission guidelines (such as art dimensions and fic word limits), please view the new guidelines page on our Carrd!

https://connectzine.carrd.co/#guidelines

We would like to allow contributors to draw/write the pairings of their choice, but in order to ensure a level of variety, we ask that everyone is open-minded to the possibility of being asked to change off of their first choices. This is a zine for the Madoka franchise, not just the HQ girls.

While Magical Girls are the focus of this zine, other characters are allowed within our core theme. Junko, Kazuko, Kyosuke, Hitomi, Shirogane, Hiko, Tasuke, even Witches-- They are allowed! Additionally, non-human artwork of characters is also allowed. AUs are also allowed as long as they follow our guidelines.

Once the application period has ended, we will take some time to review them all and will send out acceptance emails inviting everyone who has been accepted to our Discord server. After this point in the schedule, the team behind the zine will be settled and we will not be looking for any more new people, so there are no future opportunities for someone to try and join if they couldn't apply during our application period.

However, that being said, we will look at our pinch hitters in the case that we need them. Applicants can mark down in the application that they are okay with being a "pinch hitter" if they are not accepted into the zine, and what this means is that if someone has to leave the project, we will reach out to a pinch hitter in order to replace that missing person, thereby bringing them into the zine. There is no guarantee that we will need to make use of any pinch hitters.

Small artists are absolutely allowed to apply for our zine! Popularity or number of followers are not determining factors for how we will accept applicants, as per the information on our new guidelines page. We will not be able to accept everyone that applies, unfortunately, but we will make our choices based on the portfolios that applicants include in their contributor applications.

Trump's tariffs have forced the big four mass pattern makers into bankruptcy and will likely further yank home sewing accessibility from the American people

And while I want to remind everyone there's plenty of indie pattern makers with a large chunk of them gathering on Etsy, and that there's Facebook groups dedicated to sharing PDF files of sewing patterns that you can use with a cheap projector so long as you size off the sample squares

And that the foldline is another collection of indie pattern makers that also breaks down how to print your patterns

And that Annika Victoria, while retired, has left up her YouTube videos that continue to be an excellent source of sewing tutorials and slow fashion (the likes of which helped teach me to sew outside costume shops and quilting circles in the Midwest) ((also she's an absurdly fun and light hearted chronically disabled woman and one of the top people I want to have ad revenue forever)

And that my favorite book on how to sew is likely available in some form at your local library

The simple fact of the matter is that none of the current government's actions have made America any more self sufficient, they've just further ripped opportunity and enjoyment from the American people's hands.

Sewing is a very small slice of the pie, but it's been really impacted this year. From one of the last standing big chain fabric shops closing to this announcement of bankruptcy-- sewing has now become more inaccessible than ever. Which is a shame because sewing offers so many things.

From sustainable fashion, to the ability to show empathy and love, to an ability to express ourselves-- losing access to these resources is only going access to pull the ability to sew from the American people, and might have the slow trickle down effect of lowering the quality of garments we're willing to accept and the way that we treat fashion in an already unethical industry.

I'm not even going to touch on the way that basic sewing skills have made gender expression, mobility access, and community connection more accessible because we would be here for years

What I am going to say is that long and short-- it's shit, and while there are indie resources, the average consumer isn't going to know where to look for them, and a lot of people are just going to be locked out of this hobby.

Karen has filed a new motion to prevent the government from seeking the DP against Luigi

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.633811/gov.uscourts.nysd.633811.16.0.pdf

Sorry I forgot to attach the link the first time 😅

hey thank you for sending anon!!! i appreciate it💚

KFA is NOT fucking around she came through with the steel chair in this one omfg…here’s some choice quotes i liked:

“Defendant Luigi Mangione seeks Court intervention now not merely because the Government has failed to follow these procedures but because it has abandoned them.”

“The Attorney General stated during her television appearance that a reason she ordered the death sentence was because the alleged victim was a CEO.” hmm…hmmmmmm…

“Meanwhile, law enforcement was orchestrating the mother of all ‘perp walks,’ attended by none other than the New York City Mayor.” GET EM

“While a new administration must be given wide latitude to develop new and different policies to help the American people, this does not include abandoning its own death penalty protocol so the Government can kill a particular defendant without regard to the law or settled procedures.” GET EM!!!!

“In terms of mitigating factors, Mr. Mangione’s background reveals an exemplary life in every respect. He was, and is, a loved and cherished son, brother, uncle and cousin in a large, close, loving family. He was the valedictorian of his high school where he led the robotics team to the Eastern Regional Finals. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in four years with both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree in Computer Science. He spent his life playing soccer and baseball; he ran track and wrestled. When compared with Mr. Mangione’s life of love, support and excellence, and no criminal record, the sole statutory aggravating factor pales in comparison.” karen. karen you’re breaking my heart karen

“While the Attorney General stated during her television appearance that ‘If there was ever a death case, this is one,’ that statement is wholly inconsistent with the historical record of death penalty cases in this District.” after the rundown of cases where the DP was pursued in the southern district of NY? ooooooh. ooooooohhhhhh

“It is not surprising that, after a wholesale rejection of the death penalty protocol, the Attorney General ordered the death penalty.”

“Also, if the death penalty was being ordered pursuant to policy instead of publicity, the Attorney General would not have put her directive in the form of a press release followed by an Instagram post that effectively launched a new government social media account.” cackled out loud at this she is sooooo over it girl me fucking too

“Here, the one and only person legally permitted to make this decision is the same person who breached the established protocol, making a decision that is blatantly arbitrary and political and then publicizing that decision in a manner to prejudice the grand jury hearing this case.”

“With a few exceptions, for over two hundred years the Executive Branch earned the presumption of good faith. Over the last two months, it lost it.” ATE THE FUCK UP

“This conduct highlights that this Attorney General and other leaders in the Justice Department have a demonstrated track record of abandoning process wholesale. When others in the Justice Department insist that the established processes be followed, they are either fired or forced to resign. These are not normal times. By directing the S.D.N.Y. prosecutors to seek the death penalty without affording even a modicum of process to Luigi Mangione, by fashioning this order in the form of a press release, followed by an Instagram post, followed by a prejudicial television appearance, the Attorney General is being consistent with the new culture of the highest levels of the Justice Department, one that values personal will over process, publicity over discretion and partisan politics over justice.”

i’m very glad that karen took the time to discuss both eric adams’ case getting dismissed as well as abrego garcia’s illegal removal because they are truly necessary context to understand the sheer unlawfulness of trump’s administration and intentions. she is such a bad bitch luigi lucked out with his counsel man

preliminary thoughts on siddur shoshanat yadi (shavuot thoughts pt 1)

I'll say up front, I did not enjoy davening with this siddur. To be transparent, I have a siddur I really like and I bought a copy of Shoshanat Yadi as an experiment (just decided to get the proof on a whim, I felt more comfortable being within my budget for it). I also liked that it was comprehensive of all services and not massive--the siddur I usually use doesn't have a version like that. I also want to disclaim that I have not gone through the siddur in-depth; these are my thoughts after using it once, for festival services.

Problem 1: Quality-of-life features. My preferred siddur, Eit Ratzon, has a LOT of QoL features--a longer table of contents for example. I want to say right here that I understand that anything that makes the book longer is also a tradeoff with the fact that it works for all services and is a small format. I found Shoshanat Yadi a little annoying to navigate: mostly because of the format of translation and transliteration, which I'll talk about in a sec--it was just hard to quickly figure out which blessing I was looking at by reading the text. The table of contents was a little too short, but honestly it was serviceable. What was really annoying was that I *could not find Yigdal anywhere!!* However, I'm going to give the siddur a pass on this stuff because a) I think this would be mostly fine for someone who's more adept at navigating siddurim than I am, b) I can also chalk this up to unfamiliarity with the siddur and service, I think it would be better with more frequent use and in a more familiar context, and c) it's a proof copy, so these things might change. Also, I really liked the little symbols for directions like stand and bow! I think they're a lot more elegant than what Eit Ratzon does.

Problem 2: The translation-transliteration format. Here's a screenshot from the full text PDF which is also linked on the antizionistsiddur instagram (side note: I had to download the file because it was so large and that seemed to break the comments but I would love to be able to get a look at the comments in context).

I don't like this. I really like reading the English meanings of prayers and doing this makes it really hard to get a continuous meaning--you essentially end up reading the prayer in fragments rather than in complete sentences. The introduction says this is to help readers make connections between the English and the Hebrew line-by-line, and while it might do that for someone who's better at Hebrew than I am, I find that it really misses the forest from the trees in that I struggle to look at a page and get a good idea of what a prayer is about. This and the following thing are the main issues I have.

Problem 3: The Aleinu in the room. My preferred siddur, Eit Ratzon, has four versions of the Aleinu (including the traditional) that attempt to grapple with the message of the choseness of the Jewish people, because a message of Jewish supremacy doesn't sit right with a lot of us. Shoshanat Yadi has only the traditional. And while I understand trying to keep the siddur short, it feels like an antizionist siddur should definitely attempt to grapple with the prayer that is pretty explicit about Jewish supremacy. Similarly, I could see an explanation of this as trying to keep the prayer traditional, but if you're going to add v'al kol palestinah and v'al kol yoshvei teivel and chaverim I don't think it's too much of a stretch to at least give people the option to deviate. I think this highlights a weird tension that often exists between traditional Judaism and progressive values and there's often no good way to resolve that, but I think Shoshanat Yadi should at least try. Tatir Tz'rurah talks about it a bit in the introduction but it feels pretty surface-level, and I think Shoshanat Yadi should stand on its own and make its own explanation as well.

With those large pieces of criticism, here are the things I did like about the siddur:

aforementioned includes all the services + is small

aforementioned the little symbols for directions

While I personally don't feel the need, I like the option of chaverim with yisrael

I liked the introduction! I liked what it had to say and how it said it.

I like the inclusion of Hagar in the matriarchs or at least found it interesting, (i'm curious how the tune would go with her added) though I would have loved some info about it in the introduction

I like that it has the bedtime shma! feels kinda sweet idk

I don't think I'm going to use the proof copy much, but I might take it as a travel siddur because of its size and comprehensiveness, and I might try to use it at my own services once or twice (but I'm away + won't be going to services for the summer so that won't be for awhile). I don't think I'll buy a full copy, and I probably won't buy any further antizionist siddurim like this unless they're big copies with lots of commentary (the main reason I like Eit Ratzon). I wasn't necessarily expecting to replace my current siddur, but I hoped that Shoshanat Yadi would be something I wanted to daven from sometimes, maybe when the mood struck me. I think Tatir Tz'rurah would have been more like that just because of the formatting of the translation and transliteration, but alas I could not get my hands on one. anyway those are my thoughts. curious to hear others, especially from people who have Tatir Tz'rurah!

A little request from any Filianists out there!

I've been poking around the old archived Filianic Studies website looking for anything I missed archiving, and it looks like some PDFs never made it to the Way Back Machine, but appear to have been uploaded there at one time. In particular, this link for the "Breaking The Time Barrier" pamphlet.

And, of course, I'm maddingly obsessed with trying to find the issues of Artemis that aren't on archive.org (only volume 5 and 6 are uploaded!), old pages on the Madrian Deanic Resources blog seems to indicate up to 8 volumes were scanned at one point!

If any one has any of these PDFs hanging out on your hard drives, I would love to see them! Uploading to archive.org is an incredibly easy thing to do if you would prefer to remain anonymous, or otherwise don't necessarily know how to send large PDF files. Thank you so much to anyone out there who has been uploading these long lost, then recently lost again, files!

Usability: Great RPG Mechanics #RPGMechanics: Week Nine

Continuing my week of meta-elements which make for great games, I want to talk about physical presentation. There’s a weird mix in my collection of ttrpgs. I have 8-9 shelves filled with physical books and way, way too many accumulated in my badly organized “rpg e-files” folder which has migrated across five different desktops. I’d say pdfs have become the majority at this point. I usually read those on a crappy Samsung tablet, mostly because I have a hard time reading large amounts of text on a screen. So pdfs work better than others– and I appreciate when the designers have thought about these elements. 

Printer-Friendly: I love it when a ttrpg has a printer friendly mode. This can take a couple of forms. Some games, like The Sprawl, have a day-mode and night-mode versions. When I first saw the Sprawl’s white text on black background, I didn’t like it. Eventually I found out that was a more comfortable approach for a lot of readers. But I appreciated that Hamish Cameron eventually released a version with standard black on white page design. Other games publishers in the last few years have begun to do this more and more. Star Trek Adventures includes that with the pdf purchase. 

The other version of printer/reader friendly is to have layers available in the pdf. This allows readers to turn off distracting page elements: paper textures, watermark art, intrusive page frames. This allows for easier printing, but frankly for me, it makes for easier reading. It just makes me unreasonably angry when I get a pdf with page backgrounds that make it harder for my old person's eyes and I can’t turn those off. Sometimes a pdf will have layers but turning off the backgrounds removes the text as well because they’ve merged the two together. The best games have layers, cleanly separated and cleanly labeled. 

Give Me Text: Some games in recent years have offered text-only versions, like The Veil. I love this. It is hugely useful and makes it more likely that I’m going to run that game. I run the majority of my ttrpgs online. Usually that means I’m putting together materials for the players: setting background, cheat sheets, and character keepers. Extracting text from pdfs is a pain, even with a good program. You almost always have to deal with the paragraph breaks and formatting. When a company provides the text, it makes my job significantly easier. If you want people to play your game online, outside of a set VTT package, include the text with the pdf. A lot of folks on itch.io know to do this. 

Accessibility: There are a couple of elements which I can’t speak to from experience, but I appreciate when I hear about publishers who spend the extra time getting these things right. My father was color blind and the few board games he played with us often had to be modified to make up for that. Some companies use online tools to check how their material works for the color blind. That’s important where color is used to mark out important information: particularly different colors to indicate different things. 

On the other hand, one complaint I’ve heard about certain books is that they’re particularly dyslexia-unfriendly. They choose fonts which look cool but become a pain to actually read for people with this condition. I know tools and resources exist for checking which fonts work better than others. Of course it isn’t just about fonts, but general typographic elements, size, background bits, etc. When I designed the earlier Gauntlet Community revised logos, I had input from a couple of folks who encouraged me to move clutter away from the words and remove some extra type flourishes. It looked better and became more useful as a result.  

[reliablejoukido]

For the writer's asks, 65 and 73 <3

65: Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

I’m taking a short break from writing right now, but I have plans in the works for sure! When I’m done with my break, I want to tackle a Daikeru oneshot. Shocker, right? The basic gist of the story is that Daisuke and Takeru are both on Tinder, they FIND each other on Tinder, and they proceed to have some conversations about how and why this occurred. It leads to fun times, which eventually leads to dating. I don’t know when this story will get written, but I’ve outlined some of it already, so it’s in the works for sure.

73: What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

So this is going to sound weird to people who aren’t familiar with my writing…. But I have this “gimmick”, so to speak. I create video game style text boxes (inspired by Ace Attorney) and use them in place of dialogue. This includes profile images for each line of dialogue. More recently in the past year, I started creating multiple character expressions to go along with the emotion behind what each person is saying. The process takes a LOT of extra time on my end, but I’m always proud of it when I’m done.

People have told me the text boxes help break up text and make it easier to read the story. The biggest downside to this method is that the images make the file too large and unwieldy to download as a PDF or EPUB. So the only way to read my stories is straight on AO3.

I also love creating other kinds of multimedia graphics for my stories. It helps keep me engaged in my own work.

I’m so glad you send in an ask, thank you so much!

How to Prepare Print Files Correctly: Bleed, Resolution & Export Tips

Great design deserves great execution. No matter how stunning your layout is, if the final print is blurry, cut-off, or off-color, your message falls flat. Whether you're printing business cards, brochures, or flyers, preparing your print files correctly is essential for getting professional results.

At Colour Code, a trusted name for printing services in Abu Dhabi, we often receive beautiful designs that need minor corrections to meet professional printing standards. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you understand the technical side of prepping your files for print—so you get it right the first time.

🎯 Why Proper File Preparation Matters

Think of it this way: design is the vision, but file preparation is the execution. Without the right setup, you risk:

Poorly aligned or cut-off content

Blurry or pixelated images

Unexpected color shifts

Delays and costly reprints

By learning how to prepare your print files correctly—especially with the right bleed, resolution, and export settings—you can ensure a smooth transition from screen to press.

✂️ Understanding Bleed: Design Beyond the Edges

Bleed is the extra space around your design that ensures there’s no unprinted edge when your materials are trimmed. Without it, even slight misalignments during cutting could leave white borders.

✅ Standard Bleed Guidelines:

Add 3mm (or 0.125 inches) on each side of your document

Extend background colors and images beyond the edge

Text and important images should remain at least 5 mm inside the safe zone, or final cut line.

For example, if your flyer is A5 (148 × 210 mm), your actual working canvas should be 154 × 216 mm to include the bleed.

🖼️ Use High Resolution: Aim for 300 DPI

A common printing mistake is using low-resolution images that look fine on screen but print blurry. Your print file must be created at 300 DPI (dots per inch) to ensure crisp quality.

🧠 Resolution Tips:

Avoid screenshots or images saved from websites (usually 72 DPI)

Use high-res logos and illustrations

For large signage or banners, 150 DPI may suffice due to viewing distance

Tools like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator let you check and adjust image resolution before export.

🎨 Set the Right Color Mode: CMYK, Not RGB

Digital screens use RGB (Red, Green, Blue), but printers use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). If you leave your file in RGB, colors may print differently than expected.

🎯 How to Convert:

In Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop: Edit > Convert to CMYK

In Canva: Choose CMYK-compatible print export options (if available)

CMYK ensures better control over color accuracy in your final output.

🔤 Handle Fonts Properly: Embed or Outline

Missing fonts can break your layout when the file is opened on another system. Always embed fonts or convert text to outlines before export.

Embed fonts: Use PDF/X-1a format or include fonts in packaging

Convert to outlines: In Illustrator, select the text > Type > Create Outlines

This step ensures your typography prints exactly as designed.

💾 Export the Right Way: Use PDF/X-1a

Exporting your file in the wrong format can result in flattened colors, missing elements, or transparency issues. We recommend PDF/X-1a for consistent, print-ready output.

✅ Best Export Settings:

Format: PDF/X-1a:2001

Bleed: 3mm on all sides

Marks: Include crop marks

Image compression: 300 DPI

Fonts: Embedded or outlined

If you're using Canva, InDesign, or Illustrator, these settings are available under their advanced print export options.

🧾 Final Pre-Flight Checklist

Before hitting send, review your file with this quick checklist:

Bleed added on all sides?

Safe margins respected?

All images 300 DPI?

CMYK color mode applied?

Fonts embedded or outlined?

PDF/X-1a format used?

Crop marks included?

E. coli Model for Protein Amplification

Escherichia coli is a bacterium that most of us know first from recalls of foods like meat and lettuce. Although E. coli is a commensal (non-harmful) gut bacterium, the wrong circumstance and strain can make infection uncomfortable and dangerous. E. coli is gram negative, meaning it has a double-layered cell membrane that makes it more difficult to treat with antibiotics.

Our homogenization equipment is regularly used to disrupt E. coli. In “Identification and Biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory sulfonolipids” authors Hou et al. use the NanoGenizer to break apart E. coli after using it for protein expression. Many other researchers have done the same (https://www.genizer.com/u_file/2206/file/6bffa6a456.pdf, https://www.genizer.com/u_file/2312/file/298f8a65e6.pdf , https://www.genizer.com/u_file/2312/file/3ca3c35d8a.pdf)

What makes this common cause of diarrheal illnesses a welcome tool in so many research labs?

First, we need to understand the research problem E. coli is being used to address in many labs.

Researchers often need large amounts of proteins for a variety of purposes. One common example is for pharmaceutical production at a large scale. However, having to obtain that protein from its natural source can be time-consuming, resource intensive and complicated. Instead, researchers will often take the gene that encodes that protein and transform it into a bacterium. There, the bacteria will make that protein more quickly. However, not just any bacteria are suited for this purpose, and that’s what makes E. coli a laboratory star.

Speed: E. coli can double as fast as every 20 minutes. Optimal conditions for quickly producing large quantities of protein.

Density: E. coli can grow densely, reducing the amount of space required for protein production.

Materials: E. coli can grow well on affordable and easily obtainable materials, making it accessible to researchers.

Universality: The wide breadth of research done using E. coli as a model makes it easier to work with.

Tractability: Tractability refers to the ease of editing a genome. E. coli is naturally genetically tractable and can pick up new genes and add them to itself. This eases the process of adjusting its genome for researchers. As a pathogen, this feature also helps E. coli evade antibiotics.

So researchers, go forth and enjoy this model organism in the laboratory, if not always in your kitchen!

How to Import a PDF into Excel: A Practical Guide

PDF files are commonly used for sharing documents, but they aren’t ideal for editing or analyzing data. On the other hand, Excel is designed for data manipulation and calculation. If you’ve received a PDF with valuable information, you may be wondering how to import a PDF into Excel for easier editing and analysis. This guide walks you through several reliable methods to get it done effectively.

Why You May Need to Import a PDF into Excel

There are many reasons to move content from a PDF into Excel, including:

To work with tables and figures in a spreadsheet format

To calculate totals, averages, or trends from PDF reports

To edit, reformat, or clean up static data

To combine multiple data sources into a single Excel workbook

Learning how to import a PDF into Excel can improve productivity and save time.

Method 1: Use Excel’s Built-In PDF Import Feature (Excel 365 / Excel 2019+)

Modern versions of Excel offer a direct way to import data from PDF files.

Steps:

Open Excel.

Click the Data tab on the top ribbon.

Select Get Data → From File → From PDF.

Choose the PDF file from your device.

A preview window will show pages or tables found in the PDF.

Select the one you want and click Load to bring it into Excel.

Advantages:

Automatically detects tables

Keeps structure organized

Easy to use and built into Excel

Method 2: Copy and Paste from PDF to Excel

For simple documents or smaller tables, copy and paste is a quick method.

Steps:

Open the PDF in a viewer (like Adobe Reader).

Use the text selection tool to highlight the data or table.

Copy the selected content.

Open Excel and paste it into the worksheet.

Use Excel’s Text to Columns tool if the data is not separated properly.

Good for:

Quick tasks

Basic PDF tables

Limitations:

Doesn’t work well for scanned PDFs

Method 3: Use Microsoft Word as a Conversion Step

Sometimes pasting directly from PDF to Excel causes formatting issues. Using Word as a bridge can help preserve tables.

Steps:

Copy the table from the PDF file.

Paste it into a blank Word document.

Make any necessary formatting adjustments in Word.

Copy the table from Word.

Paste it into Excel.

This is helpful when Excel doesn’t recognize the layout properly during a direct paste.

Method 4: For Scanned PDFs – Use OCR Software First

If the PDF is scanned or contains images of text, it must be converted using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) before importing.

General Process:

Open the scanned PDF in OCR software or a PDF reader that supports OCR.

Convert the content into editable text or a Word file.

Copy the resulting text or table and paste it into Excel.

Note:

This step is only necessary for image-based or scanned PDFs, not for text-based files.

Tips for Clean Data Import

To make the process of how to import a PDF into Excel smoother:

Set your PDF to show only the data you need.

Preview how the data will appear in Excel before finalizing the import.

Break large imports into smaller sections if needed.

Format the Excel columns after importing for better readability.

Conclusion

If you’ve been wondering how to import a PDF into Excel, now you know several ways to get it done. Whether you’re using Excel’s built-in import feature, copy-pasting directly, or using a tool like Microsoft Word as a bridge, the right method depends on your file type and data complexity. Once imported, Excel allows you to organize, analyze, and present your data in a much more powerful way.

Convert PDF to Excel: A Smarter Way to Handle Data

Managing data trapped inside PDF documents can be frustrating, especially when you need to analyze or edit it in Excel. Whether you’re working with invoices, statements, tables, or reports, the ability to convert PDF to Excel helps turn static files into dynamic spreadsheets you can work with freely.

In this article, we’ll explore why this conversion matters, how to do it, and best practices to ensure accuracy.

Why Convert PDF to Excel?

PDFs are great for preserving layout and design—but they aren’t made for editing. Excel, on the other hand, is designed for data handling. Converting PDF to Excel brings several key advantages:

Speed: Avoid retyping information manually

Accuracy: Minimize errors when transferring tabular data

Automation: Integrate with workflows that rely on Excel format

Finance teams extracting transaction tables or reports

Accountants working with invoices and balance sheets

Logistics departments processing shipment and delivery data

Sales teams tracking leads and performance metrics

Administrators managing structured lists like employee data or attendance

Methods to Convert PDF to Excel

There are several ways to approach this conversion, depending on the document type and tools available:

1. Copy and Paste (Manual Method)

Useful for small, simple tables. However, formatting often breaks, and it can be time-consuming.

2. PDF Software with Export Features

Some professional PDF tools allow you to export directly to Excel. This can retain more formatting and save time.

3. OCR (Optical Character Recognition)

For scanned or image-based PDFs, OCR technology detects text and tables, turning them into editable content. Make sure your tool supports OCR if you’re working with scanned files.

4. Batch Conversion Tools

Businesses dealing with large volumes of data benefit from tools that support batch conversions, saving hours of repetitive work.

Best Practices for Clean Conversions

To get the best results when converting PDF to Excel, keep these tips in mind:

Use high-quality PDF files: Clean, structured layouts convert more accurately

Check formatting: Review column alignment, merged cells, and number formats after conversion

Split complex tables: Break large tables into smaller sections if necessary

Clean unnecessary data: Remove headers, footers, and non-tabular elements before or after conversion

Final Thoughts

Learning how to convert PDF to Excel effectively can streamline your workflow, save time, and reduce manual errors. Whether you’re handling a few files or processing large volumes of data, the right method and tools make all the difference.

By turning static PDFs into editable spreadsheets, you gain the freedom to manipulate, analyze, and use your data in ways that drive better decisions and results.
