    Tables from PDF to excel

    I was wondering if anybody could help me with a problem I am having.

    I have a pdf file with several tables in it that I have to transfer to excel, the problem is when I copy and paste all the info from one row across in the pdf, it gets copied to one single in excel. Is there a way I can copy from pdf and paste to excel in a correct table format?

    Thanks for the help.

    Cheers,

    Marcos

    The data are pasted as text. Use the Data->Text to columns command to parse the data into columns.

    The problem is that in the first column of each table there is text so if I use space as a separator, the columns will not allign because depending on the row you have one or more words.

    Best Regards,
