HI sonardude,
I'm sorry that your PDF conversions are going well. PDF > Excel conversions have been particularly tricky. While turning off OCR has helped in many cases, it sounds to me as though that isn't an option to you, since the PDF was likely created from a scanned document. The quality of the conversion is very dependent on the quality of the original document, so if the PDF wasn't of best quality, the conversion will show it (not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure).
We have been collecting files such as yours in an effort to improve the Acrobat online services. If you're willing, please consider submitting your form using the   File Conversion Issue form. Adobe will take a closer look at your file (but we cannot promise to respond individually to all submissions).
Best,
Sara
