Export PDF to Excel with Wrapping Issues

I exported from a PDF to Excel.  It is an outstanding check listing, and it is 300 pages long.  I separated the file into 4 parts.  Each part has the same header.  Two sections are fine, but the third section and fourth section are causing me problems.  It seems the text jumps all around and they are wrapping issues.  Why is half of the file good, but the other half bad?

Hi Ronald Boone Mill,

Did you use the ExportPDF service to convert the file to Excel? Or did you use Acrobat?

Can you please tell me a bit about how the file was created? If you don't know, you can see what created it by choosing File > Properties, and looking at the PDF Producer on the Description tab. The quality of the conversion depends on how well the PDF was written, and some third-party PDF producers may not include all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion.

If the file wasn't created from a scanned PDF, you may have better luck by disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community
