PDF TYPE DOC INTO EXCEL

[BillyRogers]

We use a program called PCCharge to process our credit card orders and to
view reports on the cc transactions. Everyday I print out the report and
compare each transaction to look for duplicate cc numbers. I know how to
search for duplicates in excel, but I can't get the data into excel.

The reports don't allow copy and past, similar to a pdf file. Is there
anyway around this?

Thanks,
Billy Rogers

Billy,
Are the reports in GhostScript? Similar to PDF but free.
If so, you may be able to get the text with:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/get46.htm

which says it can "Extract text or search for text".

I use ABBYY's ScanToOffice Utility (49.99) and it works great for me.
