Adobe ExportPDF is capable of exporting high quality information, but the quality of your Word or Excel document depends on the quality of the PDF file you start with. For instance, if your PDF file was originally authored in Microsoft Word or Excel and converted to PDF using the PDFMaker functionality of Adobe Acrobat®, your PDF file contains a rich set of information that can be captured by Adobe ExportPDF. This includes relative positioning of tables, images, and even multi-column text, as well as page, paragraph, and font attributes.

If your PDF file was originally authored using simpler PDF generation methods, such as “print to PDF” or “scan to PDF” options, Adobe ExportPDF will convert any recognizable text and then use sophisticated conversion intelligence to preserve as much of the page layout as possible.

Same here. Can not edit the excel, as there is a space before all numbers and excel reads as text. So I do cannot add or sum. Will request refund.

When I export a PDF document to word I have to spend as much time cleaning up errors as it would have taken me to type the information in the first place. I am getting an average of 35 errors per page.

I am going to request a refund.
