It will be very hard to get as a originally but you can do a bit by running OCR and Export PDF to Excel

In Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

== Go to Document Menu > OCR Text Recognise > Recognize text using OCR

In Adobe Acrobat DC Pro

1. Click on "Tools tab" and select "Enhance Scans", In the Enhance Scans properties bar choose "Recognise Text" from the drop down menu choose "In This File"

After the REcognize text is complete

2. In the Enhance Scans properties bar choose Reconize Text from the drop down menu select "Correct Recognize Text"

After complete the workdone in PDF file, now Export to Excel

It will help you a bit

Thanks

    I can't figure out why Acrobat has such a tough time correctly converting scanned text (from a simple, clean, black and white Word document!) into usable text. I get a lot of un-usable gibberish, like OCR software from 20 years ago. What on earth?
