Why is converting a simple 3 page PDF to an RTF taking Sooooooooo long?

Report · Mar 21, 2015

I'm trying to convert a PDF (baseball stats) to an XLS spreadsheet, but I don't seen that option on the conversion drop down menu. (When I signed up for PDF to text, I was given the clear impression that I would also be able to convert a PDF directly to an xls or xlsx, but once I subscribed I did not see that option). Even converting to a .doc file (I can hopefully open that in Excel) seems to be taking forever, and it's only a 3 page 515K document. What is up with this?

Hi Curtis,

What options do you see in the drop down menu when you try to convert a pdf file.

You can easily convert a pdf to .xlsx or .rtf format by selecting the correct option from the Drop down menu.
You might face trouble opening a .doc file in Excel program. So please select the desired program.

Please let me know if you see any different options than the ones shown in above pic, or in case you need any other help.

Regards,

Rahul
