I have some pdf files that I want to pull into excel but they have the
copy feature disabled so all I can do is save or print them. Does anyone
know of software that can extract the data? Preferably shareware or
freeware of course.

I'm loathe to try printing and ocr as that takes ages to proof read and
correct.

You might do better posting to one of the computer groups, such as alt.
computer. I've found them helpful in the past.


Will try, but I have yet to find a more helpful group than this one ;-)
