Converting scanned PDF to Excel

I have tried to convert a scanned PDF to Excel but find the columns and rows are all jumbled and do not reflect the original document.
I am using a Mac with MS Office 2011
Any help appreciated.

Hi Keith,
I apologize for the trouble. I'd like to assist!
Was the original document excel prior to becoming a PDF? Unfortunately scans can be a challenge due to the converting not having actual 'text' to grasp onto.
If you would like you can send your PDF to me: [email protected] and I can take a look for you?
Kind regards, Stacy

  • How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

    How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

    Sara,
    Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to  convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing. 
    Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

  • How can i convert my pdf into excel

    How can I convert my pdf into excel, the tutorial shows a "content converter" option under the tools section but I do not have that option. I have Acrobat Pro v11.

    With Acrobat XI Pro use this click-path:
    File - Save As Other - Spreadsheet -
    Then select the option desired.
    Be well...

  • How can we create a plugin for Acrobat reader to convert a Pdf to Excel format?

    Hi all,
    I need to convert a pdf to excel format ! is it possible by a plugin in acrobat reader.
    I know that it can be done with Acrobat Professional and i have to do the same with the Acrobat Reader?
    Does the Acrobat Reader support file conversion plugins?
    Sreejesh K V

    Hi,
    I don't know if Reader supports the onversion but you can easily check that : open an Excel file with Reader and check the result.
    With Acrobat Pro when you open a document using Acrobat then it's automatically converted. If this functionality is supported with Reader you will have the same behavior.
    Once it's supported you just have to open your document using Acrobat.exe (or Reader.Exe)
    My mistake I understood the opposite. To check that Acrobat Reader support the conversion you just have to check in the Reader interface.
