Download tables from Mammoth's free PDF-to-CSV tool
When you claim tables from Mammoth's free PDF-to-CSV tool, you land in a Data Library folder named after the PDF. The tables arrive one by one, and a banner lets you download them as one file or several. The tables are ordinary datasets, so you can keep working on them in Mammoth.
Follow the tables as they arrive
The banner shows progress, for example "Getting your 12 tables ready" and "4 of 12 ready. Each one opens here when it is done." After more than 10 minutes, it says "This is taking longer than usual. The tables appear here when they are ready."
If a table couldn't be made, the banner says "1 table could not be added." The banner stays for the browser tab you landed in, and goes away after a day.
Download the tables as CSV or Excel
When the tables are ready ("Your 12 tables are ready"), the banner's main button depends on whether the tables share their columns. More ways to download lists the other shapes.
| Tables | Main button | More ways to download |
|---|---|---|
| All have the same columns ("They have the same columns, so they look like one table split across pages.") | Download as one table (CSV) | As one table (Excel), in PDF order; As 12 separate CSV files (.zip) |
| Some have the same columns ("8 of them have the same columns. We'll put those in one file and keep the other 4 separate.") | Download all (5 CSV files, .zip) | All 12 in one Excel workbook (one sheet per table); As 12 separate CSV files (.zip) |
| Each table is different | Download all (CSV, .zip) | All 12 in one Excel workbook (one sheet per table) |
To download or share a single table, choose One table at a time.
