export to excel

When exporting to excel, there is WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY TOO MUCH wrong formatting specifically with merging cells or entering an entire page from the pdf file into cells A1 - A5 that are merged and centered with text wrapped.

Can the pdf exporter to excel actually work so if I have a pdf file with a report that is a table 10 columns by 20 rows actually go into excel the same way and not end up being 15 columns and 8 rows due to all the excel cells merging.

    Hello,
    It's more than 3 years later, but nothing changed. I have exactly the same issue with many PDF documents containing table, it's usually not properly exported to excel, many cells are empty, merged or moved, and some of them contains 20+ entries in one cell...
    I have Acrobat Pro Version 2022.003.20310
    Operating system: Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2
    Attaching sample PDF and exported excel.
