You can use an Action in Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert your PDF files to Excel in one operation. To do that, create a new action (Tools>Action Wizard>Create new action…).
Then add the “Save” tool from Save&Export to your new action. Click on the “Specify Settings”button for your save tool and check “Export File(s) to Alternate Format” and select your output format.
Now you can run this action on a number of files, and all of them will be exported to Excel.
Certainly in my Win 7, Acrobat 11 I can convert a single pdf file to excell (File->Save as Other->spreadsheet). But I have 200+ scanned pdf files to convert – so I need to load these as a batch to process the whole bunch. I cannot find a batch function for scanned pdf to excel conversion. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.
With Acrobat XI Pro you can use the Action Wizard.
Use the ‘Save’ command from the ‘Save & Export’ toolset. Configure the Output Format to Excel as seen here:
