How can I convert PDF to Excel with formulas?

Hi,

I have a large spreadsheet in pdf format that I want to convert to Excel. I have tried several programmes that will extract the data (not the charts), and will dump it into a worksheet, however all formatting and formulas are gone.

It will take days to have to try & work out all the formula links. Does anyone know of a programme you can use to convert all the data from a pdf into Excel including most importantly the formulas?

Thanks

Acrobat behaves like a printer; the resulting PDF contains only the results of formulas. The formulas themselves are toast.

Thanks, figured that would be the case however in desperation thought would ask the question
