Default I give up-- I need help Pleeeezze? Anybody up to a little challange?

I recieve data every few weeks (about 65 files, each having up to 7000 or
so) that I need to evaluate. I want to work in Excel., but the data comes in
a PDF format. I can not recieve data in anything but PDF (too simple, I
know)

The fields are fixed len, except the description field (second to last
feild) Each record wraps around 2 or three lines
I need to get each field into it's own cell. I probably could get it IF I
can figure out how to get each record into it's own row....

I have tried to save to TEXT from adobe. then opened it up under word and
tried to seperate at the records, but was not sucessful.


Here is a sample of one of the files: http://www.johnsonclan.net/sample.pdf

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mc
