Merged data cells in Excel conversion (bug)

New Here ,
Mar 28, 2016 Mar 28, 2016

When converting a PDF from a vendor, data from separate lines is merged together.

This is a data report, with headings on each page, and then one or more lines of data per item.

The vendor is using alternating back ground to make the items more readable. However, when a page starts with NO color back ground, the last header line, and the 1st data line are merged together into a single row in the spread sheet.

Header example:

District Clerk      12th District Court      123th District Court      123rd District Court      County Court at Law

Data Line:

11,136      COUNTY OF xxxxxxx vs Dxxxx Mxxxxxx ET AL      Tax Cases     1/12/1234  1/12/1234

Resultant Row in Excel:

Col A

Col B

Col CCol DCol E
District Clerk
11,136
12th District Court   123th District Court      123rd District Court
COUNTY OF xxxxxxx vs Dxxxx Mxxxxx ET AL
County Court at Law
Tax Cases
1/12/1234
1/12/1234

Of course, when written as a CSV, it is all mixed together:

"District Clerk

11,136","12th District Court      123th District Court      123rd District Court

COUNTY OF xxxxxx vs Dxxxx Mxxxxxx ET AL",,,,,,"County Court at Law

Tax Cases",,,1/12/1234,,,1/12/1234,
