Question

Export PDF to Excel

Scenario: Windows 7 32bit, Acrobat Pro X1, Microsoft Office 2007 sp3. Trying to save a pdf as an excel file.

Result: It puts everything into column A and does not separate out most of the rows.

My colleague tells me that it worked OK with a previous version of Acrobat, using a pdf file from the same source.

I know the version of Office is old, but as far as I can tell it should be compatible: Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

Could anyone advise?

Apologies if this question has been asked and answered before, but I can't find it.

Compatibility with Excel has nothing to do with this problem, it's caused by a "bad" PDF file. See here for more information (even though this question was about Word, the same thing applies here):
