p_brownstone Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Is there any Software out there which can convert a *.pdf file into Excel? I have a quite large Pricelist in pdf Format from a local supplier and I need to work on the pricing before I send it to a prospective Customer – I know I could simply print it out and then Scan it into Excel but it contains quite a number of photographs and detail / resolution will be lost if I do that.

Oleg_Rus Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 yes and not. you can convert pdf into doc file - images, text and layout. But cannot convert data into excel as numbers, currency and other values. I suggest pdf2doc.exe - look at download.com or simple google... well known problem - convert supplier pricelist, add your markups and remove supplier contact info... good luck :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I use Eprint which I found very useful. I am not on my usual computer at moment but from memory it will convert to 240 different file types www.eprintdriver.com should get you there It is VERY simple to use.

Patrick <{POST_SNAPBACK}> converting from any document to pdf is very easy, loads of free apps but the reverse is very difficult. i dont think u can convert pdf to excel or word doc maintaining the pictures/layout. text extraction is easy but wont solve yr purpose. however there r some pdf editing tools available...google for them i cant remember any names right now...but i feel if u can edit the pdf files directly it should solve yr purpose...

kabal1234 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yes you can do this if you have basic VB skills..... Adobe offer COM components and an SDK to expose the PDF DOM. There is also a library called pdflib that can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeti Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I don't understand why you don't just edit the pdf file with Acrobat (not the reader, the full software) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I don't understand why you don't just edit the pdf file with Acrobat (not the reader, the full software) ? Version 6 gave loads of problems Version 7 have you seen the price tag ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Version 7 have you seen the price tag ? 120 bahts, like every software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffdog Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 First convert the .pdf into .doc and then import the .doc into excel. If Acrobat 6 doesn't work, you have to use that Lead Tools eprint program ... BTW Software is only 80 baht per CD .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
