Pdf to Excel convertion

I tried to convert a pdf into an Excel document. The only thing I got were empty cells of different sizes.
What am I doing wrong?

hi
No it is originally a pdf and there was no error message, just an empty excel-file after the convertion...
regards,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
Was your PDF an excel doc prior to being converted to a PDF?
Are you receiving a specific error message?
Have you tried this? OCR
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind regards, Stacy

  • Are trails of the PDF to Excel converter available?

    I have a PDF file consisting of several hundred pages that I must match to existing county government records. The data source we subscribe to, allows us to copy and use the information as we need it. Doing it one record at a time is totally impractical. I can do the comparisons in minutes by pasting the data into an Excel spreadsheet.
    The PDF page consist of text box fields that are not evenly aligned, thus gridding the rows and columns is more problamatic.
    I work for a local government agency, and have to involve our "IT" department. The $80 dollars for the PDF to Excel converter is within our budget, but we have to know if the application is suited to this type of page.
    Can I send a page from the file to get an opinion, or perhaps use a trial version of the converter if available?
    I have to hope this is falling on friendly ears.....Is there help?

    This is a online conversion service.

  • In PDF to Excel conversion dates like 03/12/15 convert to Dec 3rd 2015 not the correct date of Mar 12th 2015 whereas date 03/13/2015 converts correctly as March 13th 2015

    In PDF to Excel conversion dates like 03/12/15 convert to Dec 3rd 2015 not the correct date of Mar 12th 2015 whereas date 03/13/2015 converts correctly as March 13th 2015

    Hi DirTech,
    Are both of these dates in the same Excel file? If they're in different files, are you choosing the same language for OCR (optical character recognition)?
    If they are in the same PDF file, how was that PDF file created? Was it created from a third-party application (rather than an Adobe application)? If it was created by a third-party application, it could be that it wasn't written to spec, and that's why you're seeing some oddities in the PDF > Excel conversion.  (See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.)

  • Error message when I try to convert pdf to excel, after three attempts I could only convert one file.

    Error message when I try to convert pdf to excel, after three attempts I could only convert one file.

    Hi pdf to excel,
    What is the error that you're receiving when you try to convert? Is it the "Conversion Failure" message? Can you tell me more about the files you're unable to convert? What application created the PDFs? Are there many pages in these these files, or a complex mix of text and graphics?
    It'll also be helpful to know whether you're converting via the ExportPDF website (and what browser you're using), or through Adobe Reader.
    I look forward to hearing back from you, so we can get to the bottom of this!
    Best,

    I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

    PDF does not contain columns, rows, formats, styles, or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
    This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
    (see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
    What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
    Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).
    Be well...

  • Adobe Acrobat X does not convert pdf to Excel with floating columns!

    I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.6.8, using Acrobat X Pro.  I have tried all Adobe suggestions for converting credit card statement saved as Adobe pdf to Excel.  None of the recommended solutions separate the data into columns.  It places all data, separated by spaces, into ONE column. Adobe should fix this if it is going to claim that the product converts to Excel, and for $300+ it should!

    Hello,
    you may scan using any ICA-Compliant software (e.g HP Scan, Image Capture, Read Iris, etc) and then launch the file using Adobe Acrobat.
    As you mentioned Adobe require TWAIN Drivers, however the HP software only provide ICA Drivers.
    As you may find listed within the scanning specification below, Twain drivers are only provided for Windows OS:

  • Trouble converting PDF to Excel

    I'm trying to convert this delimited PDF to an excel (or some other delimited format). Using Adobe Acrobat 9, I attempt to save it and copy it as Excel but it gives the error message "BAD PDF; error in processing fonts. [348]".  How can I save as an excel?

    The PDF is not a Tagged PDF, so export will not provide an output that requires low-effort cleanup.
    The PDF producer was Crystal Reports, not Excel - so, the data comes from some database application.
    Consequently, no "file" to share.
    Now, if this Crystal Reports PDF was not a "Bad PDF" due to use of unsupported Type2 font then you could try making the Tagged by use of Advance > Accessibility > Add Tags to Document (using Acrobat Pro).
    If the PDF were Standards compliant, even not tagged, you could play with the following:
    Save the PDF to your local machine.
    With Acrobat Professional or better -
    Use the Select Tool to select content.
    Hover the mouse cursor over some highlighted content. Look for a change in the cursor icon.
    (arrow head pointed up and left with a page sheet below and to the right)
    Now, right click for the context menu.
    Choices:
    Copy | Copy as Table | Save as Table | Open Table in Spreadsheet | Select All Text | Deselect All Text
    Or, File > Select All (Ctrl+A, Command+A) the hover the mouse.
    The output will actually be a csv file but a spreadsheet app will open it.
    Based on what is/is not selected what is present for column headings can be (to some extent) manipulated.
    But, again, a well-formed Tagged PDF would permit rather clean transfer of data from the PDF to Excel.
    You could try Save As to a *.txt file and manually delimit the data.

    No, so extract one page, then convert.

    I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

    Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.
    Convert text to numbers. Microsoft Excel.

  • Converting PDF to excel using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    I am trying to convert long but simple PDFs to excel but I keep getting an error message. I have tried disabling OCR, but nothing. Some of my files are rather large, but smaller than 100MB. Any suggestions?

    Hi Sara,
    I'm working on an Imac 3.2GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X 10.9.5. Sometimes
    Acrobat just shuts down, sometimes it stops responding and I have to force
    quit, and other times I get this message: "Save as failed to process this
    document. No document was created".
    I don't know exactly how the PDFs were created, as they come from another
    institution. They look as if they were exported from excel though. The
    thing is I have several files, all with the same structure, from the same
    source, and the small ones were converted without a problem, but the large
    ones simply won't. I'm attaching one of the files, perhaps you can see for
    yourself something useful.
    Thanks,
    Mariana
