There are a few diffferent types of pDF files. Some are exculsivel
pictures and some contain mixtures of text and pictures, so are picture
that contain text. I assume you are trying to extract the text portio
of the pdf and put into excel.

For the text that in the form a a picture you have to use a OC
converter to get to text. Professional version of Word has an OC
reader. You can also convert from PDF to word using utilites provide
with Adobe Writer (not free like the reader).

Sometimes you are able to save the pdf as text and with a little manua
manipultion remove the special formating characters from the readabl
text. I'm sometimes successful by copy the pdf file and pasting int
Notepad (whicyh removes some of the invisible characters and then past
into word/excel.

Hi
As joel says, copy with the mouse and paste into notepad. Remove any
text you don't like then save and close the file. In excel do Data,
Import and see what the data looks like when you try different
deliminators (tab or space separated with "treat common deliminators
as one" might do the trick).
regards
Paul
