Hi there auntie geekchick, I see a lot of apps to convert excel to pdf, but not pdf to excel, take a look at this one and see if it would work

Why don't you just select the text in Acrobat Reader and then copy+paste it into an excel spreadsheet?

Have a look at the options "select text" and "select image" in Acrobat Reader.

I get where geekchick is coming from, have you ever tried to process 50 pdf or excell files? Copy and paste won't do my friend, it takes for bloody ever!

Another option: OCR software that can take PDF input -

it is actually for my stores- one of the apps generate reports in pdf- format- and my users are pretty basic in their skills- so it will have to be a pretty basic solution

Thanks Terra will have a look

Why dont you just change your app to convert it to xsl also, give the user some choices. I wrote a reporting tool for my company while back with 9 output types. Always keep the client happy i say.

Not Free,

OmniPage can do that.

Kinda asking for the holy grail here.
If u have a pdf with combos of tables and text (like the kind u get from StatsSA), it's gonna take forever.
You're going to have to proofread it, no matter what method u use.
