PDF to Excel?

Shawnee123 · 12-17-2008, 11:20 AM

Does anyone know if you can convert a PDF to Excel (or text or whatever)?

I'm not sure why but they do a lot of reports the old way: checking student by student. I want to work some Excel magic but have only a PDF to work with. Before I ask for another format, does anyone know if it's possible to convert the PDF? I'm not finding anything in help, and am inclined it may be not do-able or very difficult, but I thought this would be a good opportunity to find out for future instances as well, before breaking down and asking dude for another report.

edit: Just figured out (duh) I can do it with a cut and paste and texting to new columns...anyone know an easier way?
