Default Excel from PDF

This might not be the place to ask this, but I thought I'd give it a try.
I have a pdf file, where there's a table of information and someone wants me
to create an excel spreadsheet. I can copy and paste, but I'm not sure if
the contents will be separated by anything. I have Acrobat.

Has anything tried this. I realise it's ther reverse of what is usually
done. Thanks for any thoughts. Diana

Copy and paste it is. Have you tried it? AIR, in Acrobat you can tell it you
are selecting a table.

Myrna, thanks for the response. As it turned out, there was an original
excel document which took a while to get my hands on, but I did and all is
well.
Thanks again. Maybe this will be easier to work though if I ever get asked
to do this again.
