Convert Table in a PDF File to Excel

Have you ever wanted to get a data table in from a PDF file into excel so you could do some further analysis or charting? There's not a PDF to Excel converter capability though some websites have tools to do this for you (but if you have confidential information you'd wouldn't want to upload it to a 3rd party site). One way to extract or import a table in from a PDF file is to use an intermediary application and Microsoft already makes one....Word! This is probably the best way to do it if you already have Office applications since it is free (it's almost like copy and paste). You don't need to go online to use any tools, so see how this could be done quickly and easily :-)

Thanks Doug, I failed a management accounting exam last year because I messed up on copying over vast amounts of data from tables, and missed a few key ones in the clutter. Your video made this much easier for me as I am prepping for the re-exam

I'm a statistician for a commercial insurance agency. I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I have wasted over my 20+ years of doing this work, either manually retyping PDF data or doing all kinds of text extraction formulas for well behaved tables when copied into Excel. I have a degree in electrical engineering, so I'm no idiot. But this really make me feel like one for wasting so much time doing this work when relying on Word is so simple. Thank you for posting this approximately 2.5 years ago!
