I have data provided in a pdf format created by Microsoft Reporting Services PDF Rendering Extension 9.0.

I need to get this data into Excel or some such to be able to manipulate it, but it seems this data isn't a table.

I have Acrobat Standard 7 - any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks Guys,

Fee

Depending on what version of MS Office you have, you might be able to save the file in XML format, and import it into Excel that way.
If you have access to the original application generating the data, see if it will export to a Text File using CSV or something along that line, which Excel can import and display as a table. PDF is intended mainly for viewing with Acrobat Reader, was never intended as a data interchange format.
