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.

You could try Ghostview (GSView) and GhostScript...Google for more..

I tried to instal those once before but got hopelessly lost with what
version to use and which bits to install or leave out. Is there an easy
way for XP or W2000?
