Macro is working perfectly on my machine...
I hit the Import button, select a PDF, select import into Excel, then click Import. Is the PDF you are trying to import protected or some other oddity?
 
You can't do that. In a PDF, none of the spacing is stored as viable text, it's just little block scattered along the page. When you copy from it, you get all the data in a single line in XL.

Hi Sampath,
I don't think we can automate this type of import, with free floating text in a 'graphical' layout'. While the importer can grab all the text, it will just get very confused as to the layout/order of the text. :(
 
Hi Luke,

Thanks for your reply. I need another type of output. That output type sample has attached here. This is the copy & paste procedure from pdf to excel. Is there any possibility for your macro? Kindly provide for the same.

Note : I have more sheets (upto 300 pages) in this pdf.

Regards,
Sampath.S

As I said before, I don't think we can automate this import. As the PDF is more of a graphical image than a word document, any "text grabber" isn't going to keep things lined up. :(
 
Hi Luke.

Got only alphanumeric in excel, while copy that PDF page (Ctrl+C) and paste it in excel sheet(Ctrl+V). Does not paste graphical image and graphical image code in excel. That kind of process only need in macro for all sheets. if it not possible, please suggest any portable text grabber for this process.

Thanks and Regards,
Sampath.S
