Default PDF to Excel

Mr. McRitchie--

I am no expert in this. Here are my thoughts. You need to get a copy
of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. Probably some other version such as
Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard will work which will cut the cost from $400
to maybe $100 or so. If this software package does not work then
nothing will.

Adobe Acrobat has many excellent features. I do not know if this will
work on a scanned document versus a document that was converted to PDF
via a software pacakge such as ADOBE Acrobat or Cute PDF. Adobe
Acrobat change save PDF files as text, RTF, and Word doc files. I
would save as a text file. I would then open the file in Notepad and
clean it up if necessary. I would then import the file into Excel
using Data Import with Fixed width columns. I would then clean up or
move cells in Excel.

If you have any more questions feel free to contract me directly.
