I just [purchased the converted and did my first pdf to excel (2010).  It was a mess.  data was in cells, but not all in the same column.  Some columns were merged, justification was all over the place.  The word to fix it is not worth the effort.  Entering the data by hand is faster.  Is this what I am to expect?

Hi john344,

It really depends on the quality of the PDF file that you're converting to Excel. If the PDF was written by a third-party app (something other than Acrobat), then it might not be written well and have the tags necessary to ensure a clean conversion.

Best,

Sara

Sara,

Thanks for getting back to me on this.  If that’s the case then I don’t need to utility I signed up for.  If there is any high percentage of these so called inferior apps then it makes this too hit and miss.

Thanks

John
