PDF to Excel Converter

[TheRevSWT]

Please forgive me if this question has been asked before, as I did a search and did not locate the answer.

I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of any web based pdf to excel converters that are free, or alternatively a solid product that converts pdf's to excel that I can acquire for my company.

We do financial analysis and reporting for several small entities, and they only way they know how to give us their data is in pdf form. I am thinking it might be cost effective to have us grab a pdf converter, rather than spend the time going to each of these entities and trying to teach them how to produce reports for us in a more.... analysis friendly format.

Oh, for a bit of the basics, we are all windows XP based computers, and running Excel 2007, but don't have the full adobe suite available to us.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nitro has one. Google pdf to Excel (they also have a pdf to Word converter).

Works well; you browse to the file, provide an email address, and they send through the converted file.

For more features, and faster turnaround, buy the product; it's pretty good value.

Acrobat writer includes a select table tool that allows you to copy/paste into Excel. Acrobatv reader will let you select all and paste but it loses the plot with empty fields in a table, prefering to left align everything.

Neither is very elegant from an automation point of view, but if your need is ad hoc then it may be all you are after.
