I have a problem with exporting data from Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional. I have went through the 6-step process explained at adobe website but the results are the same. Everything seems to be working correctly and one of the last options is to View File Now. I select that option the data is not converted but the file name shows up in the spreadsheet in the cell A2. Please, explain what I'm doing wrong.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.0.0, Windows

You may not be doing anything wrong. If you want the table exported to Excel, you may be working with a file that's not tagged. Here's something for you to try:

Open a PDF with a table. If the file is a large file use Document > Extract Pages and extract the page with the table.Choose Advanced > Accessibility > Add Tags to Document.Now try the steps to get the table to Excel. You should see the data parsed and appearing in different cells.
