Make sure you select Clearscan (only available in Acrobat 9) in the Recognize Text Setting menu when you OCR. This will allow you to utilize the Touch Up Text tool to make changes to the document. However, note that you'll need to change the font from the custom fonts to a font that is available on your computer.

To export to Excel under the File > Save As menu in Acrobat 9, there is an option to Save as Type: "Tables in Excel Spreadsheet (*.xml)". This will help you export to Excel.
