I have a report that is in Adobe Acrobat Reader. I would like to know if
there is a way to export this file to Excel and break it down into columns.
I have failed in my attempts to copy it over and need help. There is
information such as part numbers on the Adobe file that I would like to put
into Excel and then sort them. Any ideas?

Convert the pdf file to HTML with the freeware program pdftohtml:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdftohtml

Then open the HTML document, select all and copy and paste in Excel.

There might be better ways, but this does works.

First put your pdf file in the same folder as your program pdftohtml.exe.

It is a command line program, so start the command prompt via Start,
Programs, Accessories
Change to the directory where the program is, so this will be something
like:
cd C:\Program Files\PDF2HTML\pdftohtml-0.36 if that is where you put it

Press Return

Then type: pdftohtml PDFFile.pdf (obviously change the file name to
yours)

Press Return

The HTML output will be in the same folder.
