PDF data to Excel

[cyndeg87495218]

I have data, on the same forms - can I scan them as a pdf, and download into specific information into an excel spreadsheet?

A scan provides an image (tiff, jpeg, whatnot) and not a file of renderable characters. As a picture of text there is nothing to transfer into a spreadsheet program (other than the image). Using either the online subscription service or Adobe Acrobat (not Reader) you could OCR the scan image. Whatever characters are recognized and provided in the output could be transferred (copy-paste, online service, Acrobat).
