Default Getting Data from Adobe pdf file

I have pdf file (about 6000 rows). I copied & pasted into
excel as text and am able to do what I need with 1
exception.

Every sixth row (or so) consists of three checkboxes A B C

one to three may be checked. A B C pastes into excel, if
pasted as text, but the checkmarks do not unless pasted as
a bitmap.

Could you suggest a method to ascertain the checkbox
status in excel.

TIA

Ralph

Unfortunately, in the pdf, they'll just be a picture, so without some
pretty low level bitmap examination (for which I'm not volunteering but
which probably uses the GetDIBits API function) I'd guess you're stuffed.
