I have a 46 pg PDF file that are several columns of data that I need in excel. I understand that there are converter programs available but I don not want to purchase one.

I tried selecting the data on the pdf file using the select table feature, but this does not work. It must not be a table, only text. The file I am working with is a report from some database. It has a header and the data is arranged in columns. How can I make adobe read it as a table so I can transfer the data to excel?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
