Default converting PDF file to readable excel format

Is there a way to convert a PDF file containing columns of numbers into a
readable Excel file? I am using Excel version 2003. Thanks in advance for
any help.

The PDF should be converted to a image "TIFF" if possible by scanning.. Then
you must OCR (Optical Character Recognition) the image.. After scanning to a
TIFF, you can use Microsoft Office Tools that came with OFFICE. to OCR the
image.
Or using some nice piece of Software like OmniPage Pro to create a table out
of the scanned TIFF file... hope this helps alittle.
