With the increasing use of PDFs, it has become essential for many people to be able to convert them into other formats. The most popular conversion is from PDF to Excel, which allows you to use the data from a PDF document in spreadsheet form. Fortunately, there is a wide range of software available for this purpose, ranging from free and open-source options to paid and more comprehensive solutions.
For those looking for a free solution, Apache's OpenOffice and LibreOffice both include an Export option which lets you convert a PDF into several different types of spreadsheets including Excel. All you need to do is load up the PDF you wish to convert and select 'File -> Export as' from the menu bar. You can also find online converters that take a source PDF and deliver an Excel file in a few simple steps. Some are limited in their capabilities; some limit themselves to smaller files; some require an email address – but they can be effective if your requirements are fairly straightforward.
For something more powerful however, you may want to consider investing in a dedicated software package. Adobe Acrobat Pro is probably the best option here as it provides extensive features for interacting with PDFs such as conversion tools along with creating and editing functions (most notably editing XLSX spreadsheets). Standalone packages such as Nitro Pro or Able2Extract can also provide conversion options and offer features for OCR (optical character recognition) allowing you to extract text from scanned documents as well as images from documents or other sources. Prices range from free (or even $0) up through low-cost plans all the way up to full featured professional packages such as Nuance PowerPDF Advanced or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC meeting even the most complex needs of large organizations.
