Don,
I believe what's happening is the paste of the PDF contents is
including 'printable' characters for CR, LF, Tab. These will be text,
no?

1. Assuming you mean Tab chars in-cell.

Sub Remove_Tabs()
With Selection
.Replace what:=Chr(9), replacement:=Chr(32), _
lookat:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows,
MatchCase:=False
End With
End Sub

2. Would depend upon the layout of the sheets.

1. compile error because of line-wrap. Try again with this.

Sub Remove_Tabs()
With Selection
.Replace what:=Chr(9), replacement:=Chr(32), _
lookat:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
MatchCase:=False
End With
End Sub
