converting pdf generated by PDFCREATOR 2.5.2 to excel using acrobat pro dc

Question

I am in the midst of negotations with my insurance co on the contents inventory from a house fire and need to have the data in an excel spreadsheet so I can sort, search and prioritize.

The contents listing (5200 items) was provided to them in an excel spreadsheet which they then added columns to for actual cash value and depreciation. Unfortunately, they then converted this augmented excel using PDFCreator 2.5.2.5233 and I have been unable to export this pdf to excel format using the export function in acrobat pro dc. The insurance company can't/won't give me the spreadsheet that they fed to PDFCreator. I really need to have the actual cash value and depreciation and editing my original excel file to add the data is impractical for 5200 items.

Any thoughts on how I can get this to convert?

thanks

You haven't told us what happens when you try to export. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it's the first stage in a long process. The problem is, the spreadsheet isn't stored in the PDF, only what you see. The cell layout is pure guesswork, and sometimes it guesses better than others.
