Table delivery questions

Before you start

  • JPG, PNG, and PDF files are supported up to 10 MB per file.
  • Excel keeps detected tables on separate worksheets; CSV contains one selected table and does not preserve merged-cell formatting.
  • If no table is detected, table exports are unavailable. Check important amounts against the source.
