Struggling with large, messy PDFs full of tables? 📑 In this advanced Python tutorial, I’ll show you how to extract tables from a 107-page PDF and automatically split them into multiple Excel sheets grouped by their headers.
Using PyMuPDF (fitz) with smart table detection, we’ll solve common challenges like:
✔️ Tables spanning across multiple pages
✔️ PDFs with no borders or gridlines
✔️ Dynamic headers that change by section
✔️ Data cleaning & converting values into numeric formats
✔️ Grouping results by header and exporting to Excel sheets
By the end, you’ll have a robust, reusable Python script that transforms unstructured PDF data into clean, structured Excel files — saving hours of manual work. 🚀
