Why does my exported PDF not look like the original?

When I export a PDF to excel, the excel document doesn't look like the original. Any idea why or how to make it an exact duplicate?

"Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

Hi graced40411116,

The quality of a conversion depends on the quality of the PDF file. Do you know what application created the PDF file that you converted to Excel format? Some third-party apps create PDF files that aren't written to standard, so they don't contain all the information that ExportPDF requires to ensure a clean conversion.

Best,

Sara
