Question

How do I get Acrobat to convert to Excel correctly? Everything I'm getting is useless.

I’m trying to convert a table in a PDF file to Excel.  The columns and rows are incredibly obvious to anyone looking but Acrobat cannot get it right.  Columns that don’t exist are inserted, cells that are individual are merged, etc. etc.  

The file I’m working with has about 20 pages and it gets the first handful right and then suddenly goes off the rails and I can’t even begin to guess what it’s thinking.  

How do I share the file I’m working on with Support so that I can find a solution.  When I had Able2Extract I never had this issue.
