    Creating an excel sheet using pdf file

    Hi all ,

    I am a show organiser and have attached a pdf of the seating allocations of my next show:

    I am hoping to create an excel spreadsheet, where each individual cell in the spreadsheet is a seat. I would like for the excel spreadsheet to look exactly how it does in the pdf (so when I zoom out of the pdf to see the whole venue, the seating arrangement follows the true shape as seen in the pdf)

    FYI: It is terribly difficult to explain why this is needed but rest assured it is!

    Please advise on the best and quickest way possible to do this!

    Thanks in advance!!

    Excel is a grid. This venue isn't a grid, It's curved. Also the wedges lose seats as they get narrower. This isn't achievable in Excel. You can create a spreadsheet with cells representing the seats, but it won't be curved and won't look anything like your drawing.
    Frob first, tweak later
