(thinking…)

Export to Excel

I tried to export a PDF to Excel in order to capture and manipulate the data without having to retype it. When I did so, the resulting Excel document was unreadable and the formatting was off. I have several files like this that I need to extract the data from. I have Acrobat Pro for Mac. I'm using osSierra version 10.12.6. Please see the attached PDF and resulting Excel output file.

Hi Chantal Smith,

The attached PDF is already an OCRed file whose output is incorrect. Try to copy and paste the text from the PDF file. It contains garbage values.

Please provide non-OCRed file for this issue.

    Similar issue over here. See attached fies. 1/ the original JPG (scan received from our client), 2/ "optimized" PDF by Adobe DC and finally 3/ the xls-output.
    We have currently one license Adobo Pro DC and want to invest in a powerfull PDF solution for our business (we are a small accounting firm). In this search we are considering to roll out Adobe Pro for all users but this kind of output doens't give a lot of confidence (for this aspect of the software - there are also other positive elements for Adobe Pro).
