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).

For the text that in the form a a picture you have to use a OCR

Sometimes you are able to save the pdf as text and with a little manual

text. *I'm sometimes successful by copy the pdf file and pasting into
Notepad (whicyh removes some of the invisible characters and then paste
