Invoice2Excel Pro – A Local, Privacy-Focused PDF Invoice Parser

Description and use

Invoice2Excel Pro automatically extracts data from PDF invoices and exports it into structured Excel spreadsheets, operating entirely locally to protect user privacy.

Problem

Small business owners and freelancers manually transcribe PDF invoices into spreadsheets, which is time-consuming and error-prone.

Outcome

The tool reduces manual data entry time, eliminates cloud exposure, and produces clean, filtered Excel files ready for accounting use.

Workflow

• Open the desktop application
• Select a PDF invoice file
• The app uses pdfplumber to extract text locally
• It parses dates, amounts, and tax IDs in multiple languages
• If Net or VAT amounts are missing, it infers them using formulas
• The extracted data is written to an .xlsx file with openpyxl, adding auto‑filters and formatting
• Review the generated spreadsheet in Excel
