Is there any way I can get 7 tables that are currently housed in a PDF file to a word document AND be able to edit them? I need to delete a column of cells and add two new ones. I must be overlooking the obvious because I haven't been figure it out. Also, I don't have Adobe Acrobat...just the viewer.

If worst comes to worst I'll type it all in again, but that is definitely the worst case scenario.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hmmm....

There are some online services, but I've never used them. I don't know how sensitive your data is.

There's also software. Again, I've not used it, I don't know if there's "crapware" bundled into it.

Thanks, Al. I just have a second right now, but might one of the first two provided it's not terribly expensive.

It might be a bit time consuming, but copy and paste the pdf info into Notepad, which strips out all formatting.

Then copy and paste into your new Word document. Cheaper than online, and quicker than re-typing.

I conned someone (my mama!) into doing just that for me, but she didn't use Notepad. Thanks!
