Table Reference

Table Reference follows the same draw-and-link pattern as Text Reference, but it writes a table-shaped result into Excel beginning at the active cell. The exported cells still carry the hidden reference name tied to the annotation.

How It Works​

  1. Select the top-left destination cell in Excel.
  2. Run Table Reference from the Linked Documents commands.
  3. Draw a rectangle over the table region in the PDF so the extracted rows and columns are written into the sheet.

What To Keep In Mind​

  • Use this when the source PDF contains tabular data that should stay traceable back to the page region.
  • An empty fallback grid is still written if extraction returns no table content, preserving the reference flow.
