Acrobat Pro 9 had "Save As" option to save a multiple page PDF as "Tables in Excel" which placed the table from each page into a separate worksheet in the workbook. How do I get this result using Adobe Pro XI?

Acrobat Pro 9 had "Save As" option to save a multiple page PDF as "Tables in Excel" which placed the table from each page into a separate worksheet in the workbook.  So each page in the pdf had a separate worksheet in the workbook. This "Save As" option is not available in Acrobat Pro XI.  How do I get this result using Adobe Pro XI?  All available options seem to place all the tables in the pdf into one sheet in the Excel File.  What happened?  Why is the "Save as Tables in Excel" option no longer available?

Go to Edit - Preferences - Export from PDF - Excel Workbook and click on Edit Settings.

You'll see this option at the top of the window that opens.

Thanks so much - this is correct answer - a couple of differences in the output - the formatting of those cells with numbers is a custom setting while dates are formatted correctly - and must be careful because the sheets are grouped in the output.
