ASP.NET MVC - Export PDF to Excel in C# and .NET


In today's world of business applications, there's often a need to convert documents between formats for ease of analysis, reporting, and further processing. One of the identified benefits of this proliferation is measuring changes in PDF files in Excel, which is related to working with, analyzing, and managing data. In this article, we discuss how to implement this functionality in ASP.NET MVC applications using C# and .Net with the PDF Focus .NET component from SautinSoft library.

Exporting PDF to Excel is the process of converting a required PDF file, often presented as tables or structured data, into XLSX or XLS format, allowing for easy saving, filtering, and analysis of the information.

ASP.NET MVC is a powerful, lightweight framework from Microsoft for creating dynamic web applications and APIs based on the Model-View-Controller architectural pattern. It allows for clear separation of data logic, user interface, and request processing, providing flexibility, ease of testing (TDD), and complete control over HTML markup.
