Dear

I have received the following message while converting the pdf doc into excel

"

Your file conversion failed!


File name: tmr pdf.xls

Message: Your document did not contain any tables that could be converted to Excel." is there any way to fix this problem ?
 
Good day Faisal


You can not directly import a PDF file into Excel, the way to do it is convert your PDF into a word document and then use the Excel function to import the word data.
 
Thanks bobhc .

Kindly mention the steps of converting the procedure to import word data into excel . i use the function form Get extrnal data ( from text ) but it does not work after appearing screen of "txt import wizard"
 
i have converted the file from pdf to word and then trying to import it in Excel by using option Get external data from text option ,the window appear next ask 2 options Fixed or delimited but in both cases "text "of file change in different sign.Can i fix it ?

You say you have convert to word, this saves as a .doc extension it needs to be a text file. Open your word doucument and then go to "save as" and save as a plain text file.... .txt extension then import the text document in to excel.
 
Hi Faisal,


The conversion might fail if the document you are considering is scanned. You can try Adobe Acrobat X Pro for converting PDF to Excel Sheet. Have you tried that!!

Hi, Faisal!

Consider uploading the involved sample files, it'd be very useful for those who read this and might be able to help you. Thank you.

Give a look at the green sticky posts at this forums main page for uploading guidelines.

Good day Faseeh


Just had a look at Adobe Acrobat X Pro and if any one had to import PDF to Excel on a regular basis then it would be worth buying, for a company even a small one the cost is negligible.

Hi!

And remember that it's not ethical to use pirated software... so don't do it... anymore.

Hi, my friend!

Good afternoon for you.

Regards!
 
Good evening SirJB7


I agree with your comments about pirated software, the developers deserve a wage.....but you can down load a trial version to see if it does what you need and if happy buy the license, if I was the OP that's what I would do.
