Hi,
I am trying to copy a table from a PDF document to Excel but I can't get it to work for me!
Does anyone have any tips on how to do this successfully?
Thank You

I did it easily using Bluebeam: save as Excel: done!

When I've done it, I've used the "text select" tool in Acrobat Reader to select the table. then past into Excel, where it will usually paste it as text in a single column. Then use the "text to columns" command on the Data menu to parse the data into columns.
To resolve these PDF converting problems, I'd like to share a column about PDF Converter Reviews. This has worked perfectly for me everytime I've tried it.
Hope it can do you a favor.

It's not your fault. The original document may have added some "flavours" to stop people converting to Excel:(
