Hi everybody!

Happy new Year!

 

I am trying to extract data from multiple pdf files into an excel file. I couldn't do it with the form tool, as it returned blank cells... I tried with an online app called Wondershare pdfelement and it worked. But as I have Acrobat DC Pro I wouldn't pay extra for this tool. Is there any other solution?

 

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

If there are no form fields in the file the only way to do it is by using a script, but that's only possible if the files all have the same structure, and that structure is predictable enough so that a script could process it and find the data that you want to extract. I had a look at the file you attached and I think it should be possible in your case, but this script will have to be custom-made for your specific needs.

If you're interested in hiring a professional to write this script for you feel free to contact me privately via [try6767 at gmail.com]. I specialize in exactly this kind of task.
