How can I move data from a PDF table to Excel ?

Question

Want to copy a pdf table to a excel worksheet

Answer 1

pdf is effectively an image format there unless you have an unlocked pdf file (ie one which isn't password protected) and have adobe acrobat professional then you will not be able to move it to excel. If you do have an unlocked copy and that software then you can simply open it up in the pro version and find the table and copy & paste the details into excel.



Although having said that it could actually be easier if it is a small table to just type the table into excel yourself.

Answer 2

You would probably have to have Adobe software (not just the Reader) operational on your computer so that the actual Adobe file could be opened so as to get to the actual data. The PDF format was intended to allow the sharing of the product but not the actual data. You could TRY dragging over ONE of the rows and TRY a cut-and-paste into Excel bu I strongly suspect that will not work. Rishita apparently didn't understand your question, since he pointed to a spftware package that goes the OTHER way and wouldn't help you at all.

The easiest would be to print out the table, scan it and export the file to excel through an OCR program like Aaby.
