Convert FLB to XLSX

Understanding flb and xlsx file formats

FLB files are typically associated with FlexiLayout Studio, a component of ABBYY's data capture and OCR solutions. These files store layout descriptions and rules for document processing, not tabular data. On the other hand, XLSX is a widely used spreadsheet format created by Microsoft Excel, designed for storing, organizing, and analyzing data in tabular form.

Why convert flb to xlsx?

Converting an FLB file to XLSX is usually necessary when you want to extract structured data or results from a FlexiLayout project and analyze or share it in Excel. Since FLB files do not directly contain data but rather layout definitions, the conversion process involves exporting recognized data after processing documents with ABBYY FlexiCapture.

How to convert flb to xlsx

Direct conversion from FLB to XLSX is not possible because FLB files are not data files. Instead, follow these steps:

1. Open your FLB file in ABBYY FlexiCapture or FlexiLayout Studio.
2. Process the target documents using the FLB layout to extract data.
3. Once data is extracted, go to File → Export and select XLSX as the export format.
4. Save the exported file, which will now be in the XLSX format.

Best software for flb to xlsx conversion

The recommended software for this process is ABBYY FlexiCapture. It is specifically designed to work with FLB files and offers robust export options, including XLSX. No online converter can handle FLB files directly, as they require ABBYY's proprietary processing engine.

Summary

To convert FLB to XLSX, use ABBYY FlexiCapture to process your documents and export the results as an Excel file. This ensures accurate data extraction and compatibility with spreadsheet applications.
