Hi DirTech,

Are both of these dates in the same Excel file? If they're in different files, are you choosing the same language for OCR (optical character recognition)?

If they are in the same PDF file, how was that PDF file created? Was it created from a third-party application (rather than an Adobe application)? If it was created by a third-party application, it could be that it wasn't written to spec, and that's why you're seeing some oddities in the PDF > Excel conversion.  (See Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.)

Best,

Sara
