Jan 17, 2025
Introduction
Data extraction is a critical task in many industries, and converting data from PDFs into CSV files is a common requirement. With Powerdrill AI, this process becomes seamless, saving time and effort while ensuring accuracy. This guide will walk you through using Powerdrill AI to convert PDF files into CSV format in just a few simple steps.
What is CSV?
CSV stands for "Comma-Separated Values." It is a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database. Each line in a CSV file represents a row of data, and each value within that row is separated by a comma. This format is widely used because it is easy to read and write for both humans and machines, and it can be opened by many applications, including spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.
CSV files are particularly useful for data exchange between different software applications, as they provide a straightforward way to import and export data.
