I am a beginer, using Acrobat 7.0 Professional. I would like to export a 100 page pdf (contains 1 table) to excel. However I am able to get only the first page into excel. I have tried (1) Extracting the pages and using Accessibility, tagging the document (2) used Continuous page layout. Converting to MS word truncates the table and hence this option does not work. Someone mentions a 6-step process in the Forum, but I have been unable to find this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This 100 page pdf, it contains 1 Excel table, and that table is part of each of the 100 pages?

If so, I'm not sure that exporting this PDF will result in what you want. Might be easier to track down the originator of the file.

I have copied many pages of table data from a PDF file to an Excel spreadsheet, one page at a time. In Acrobat, use the Select Text tool to highlight table data on one page. Right click and select the Copy as Table choice. Switch to the Excel worksheet, select the first cell for the copied data, then press Ctrl+V. If the table columns are not well defined in the source PDF, you may have to do some cleanup in Excel after pasting.
