    Is this conversion tool within Microsoft's Excel product, or is it part of an Adobe owned product?

    I just purchased the annual adobe pdf export service, order number ADB020357869. I have a .pdf bank statement that I used it to convert to MS Excel.  When I opened up the spreadsheet using MS excel it was garbage.

    i can send you both the source pdf doc and the spread if that will help

    This question is currently posted in our Experience Cloud community. Pdfs and products working with pdfs are typically covered in our Document or Creative Cloud communities. I'll ask one of our moderators from those communities to take a look.


    Thanks.

    How would I go about getting a refund if it doesn’t work?
