extract data from multiple pdf files into excel

[nacblu]

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!

The document has no form field.

How can I actually extract the needed data from a batch of pdfs?

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.
