I need to extract handwritten information (first and last name) from a handwritten form to an excel column. I scanned the pages to a PDF file and I want an easy way to type the handwritten information to excel.

What is the best solution for me? even if I need to type one by one, what is the easiest way to do this? I tried to split the screen in two, but I still need to use the mouse when I need to turn the pages after written each column.

What you have now is an image of text.  It's not real text or data.  You need to retype the handwritten information into Excel manually.  Sorry.
