I have a batch of scanned paper invoices to process, but every tool I try keeps merging the table columns together. What actually extracts table data cleanly from an image-based PDF into CSV?

had the same thing last month with some scanned receipts for my shop. every converter mashed the columns together. i ended up taking screenshots of each page and using the data from picture option in excel, it kept the columns separate pretty well. tbh for a big batch it still takes time but better than nothing. if it’s not too many i just type them into a spreadsheet myself.
