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've successfully used this - I think if you install the current
Ghostscript on XP it installs ghostview as well so is easier than it
used to be.

Also allows you to export graphics from any application that prints -
install the printer "MS color publisher" which prints to a postscript file.

Thanks - I'll try again. This is the site I am using
