Default PDF - text to columns into Excel

YOu need a converter. If you have Adobe Profession writter it contains a
converter. There are also many commercial converter available (search for
PDF converter on web). Sometimes Pasting the PDF document into Notepad you
can extract some of the information you may need. Also copying portions of
the PDF document sometimes works. I usually try pasting the PDF into word
1srt, and then taking the word results and putting it into Excel..

I am trying to convert a PDF into an Excel file. It is not copying over
properly. There is nothing to delimit the data, and text-to-columns based on
fixed width does not work.

What should I do?
