You made it look so easy! There were multiple tables in my pdf. When I clicked LOAD, the tables went to a list section to the right called Questies & Connections. When I bring up each table I see a lot of NULL values. There must be extra steps with multiple tables to get them imported correctly.
Was sat copying/pasting from PDF table into Excel thinking A it was going to take all day and B there must be a way to import this. Very, very glad you posted this. Really easy and helpful, thank you.
excellent. I just found a PDF that I need to import into Excel while I was watching your video. In fact, I started watching your video to avoid typing the data in by hand. Now I don't have to! I love it when serendipity looks my way.
@@louisyassa8175 At home, I have 2016 and it worked like a charm. In my office, I have 365, and I don't have that option either. A quick search finds numerous instances of 365 users doing just as Kevin does and pulling a PDF into Excel in Office 365. I wonder if it is a versioning thing? At work I'm using version 11929.20838 while Microsoft says the most current version is 13127.20296.
If file/save as Adobe PDF doesn't appear you can also try PRINT and then change your default printer to Microsoft Print to PDF. Since Adobe is subscription-based that also could be blocking it if you don't have an Adobe account. If you do as nd still can't get it to work it could be a security setting that needs to be changed.
If you have Ms. Office 2019, you can do this: 1. Open pdf in Ms. Word 2019 a. use "open with" on the pdf or "file>open" in Word b. don't use drag-and-drop 2. Clean the word wrap problem a. select the table b. open "replace" dialogue c. enter the input "^p" for paragraph mark or using the special character menu d. enter the output " " for space or blank if you want e. replace all 3. Copy and Paste to Excel (straight forward)
Power Query works wonders on PDF tables! I've found that it doesn't work quite so pretty on PDF files do not have the data within a table. The 'table' is the main factor that makes it easy. However, a PDF without a table (like a Sales Invoice) could possibly import gibberish that might take even longer to clean the data. Any suggestions for PDF importing to Excel where there isn't a table present ?
I’ve needed to know this for the longest time. PDF to WORD is fairly smooth, but PDF to Excel has been a much bigger challenge. It never occurred to me to go through the DATA tab. I will DEFINITELY be giving this a try. Thanks Kevin!
@@ramsajivansahu4585 from the Adobe menu I use FILE/EXPORT TO/MICROSOFT WORD. You can also change the PDF to an image, text, web page, etc. As I listed above, exporting to Excel doesn't work as well (format gets messed up).
Hi Kevin! I have followed your instructions but there is no PDF included the choices in the "Get Data" dropdown. I am using 2019 Microsoft license. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
An interesting task to cover is a multiple-page Excel document scanned to pdf. Laser printers allow users to scan excel xls or its variations, to pdf. Try scanning multiple Excel pages and save them as a single file by using the native scan software of the printer. For example, xerox has its own scan software and pdf converter. a 10 page scan in to PDF will do. Then see if you can convert the originally scanned excel document to PDF back in to Excel.
I have a question, The option is only available for the microsoft porducts in USA? Because I can´t see the option in my excel program!! Thanks so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! It worked like a charm. I did have to load one table at a time, however. When I tried loading more than one, I got a message that the data was downloaded, but I couldn't see it. Small price to pay - I only had 4 tables.
I just downloaded a 30 day trial Excel 365 but my version looks a little different than this, get data from PDF option doesn't show like on this video. Any idea? I downloaded the free 30 day version to see if it works before I buy. Thanks
Good I find it awesome that the feature is built into excel to make extremely seamless. I never thought this would be possible until seeing you share this tutorial, so thanks for the awesome lesson Kevin. :)
Thanks Kevin for showing a clear step-by-step to convert the pdf to excel. Quick question, I did that, but was unable to add the columns in excel. How do I convert the number-data so I am able to analyze it?
I find it awesome that the feature is built into excel to make extremely seamless. I never thought this would be possible until seeing you share this tutorial, so thanks for the awesome lesson Kevin. :)
OMG where was this info last year (at least for me) I could have used this so many times for my teacher reports ! This year I am going to use it and I know I will be seen as expert!!!! Thanks Kevin you are my hero.
Thanks Kevin, that is great! Unfortunately I don't see "From PDF" in the list of "From File" under "Get Data". Is there a way to activate the From PDF in that list?
Thank you so much! I struggle with Excel and am just learning as need it for jobs. Very helpful! some RUclipsrs blab on and don't get to the point. I will be watching more of you :D
Saved me a lot of time, thank you so much. I was looking around and be like do I really gotta retype everything out of hundreds of pdf files to make a spreadsheet?
My version of Excel doesn't offer pdf. I have icons for Access, Web, text, and 'other'. Under other, it offers two types of SQL, XML, unlisted (OLEDB), and Query (ODBC). Currently, I'm using a mixture of sorting, text functions such as LEN, and 'text to columns', but it involves a fair amount of manipulation.
@@mikebyrne7021 i think if you have an older version of excel that's why. mine is the same. i'm going to try importing the data into word first that could be a workaround.
Hi, Professor, you have provide in a lot of effort for these videos, thank you, I have a question if we have for example in cell "a1" the number 10.00 m, how to have this number with the same format in cell "b1 "using a text function or some other function, thank you very much.😃👍
This is an AWESOME video if I can only get it to work as I am hoping someone here will be able to provide direction. I have checked and I have the most recent version of Excel but I dont have that button he is referring to it is only GET EXTERNAL DATA which is not reflective of the video. Also see comments below about how to update and I dont have any ACCOUNT button. I apologize as I am not tech savvy and desperately need to convert working PDF files for data. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
very helpful, thank you! I may import up to 500 part numbers listed in a chart in a PDF document. Sometimes I have to insert the 4 row after every other cell in Excel. Can you help with that. To make it more complex, I may Have to import row 3 and row 4 from the PDF chart to a cell in Excel below each other instead of side by side as shown on the PDF. Would love to show you the PDF. I have more complex scenarios importing from PDF chart to Excel.
Hi Kevin, this is very helpful to my work now. Here is my question...I download PDF documents with pre inserted ,,, (comas) in it but I want to remove ,,, (comas), could you please help me to remove all these comas after converted to excel format?
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately I have this option INactive.. Searched on the web a bit regarding it, but could not figure out why? Can you help with that, Kevin?
Hi Kevin, thank you so much for your tutorials which are super handy! For this one convert PDF to Excel, really want to use this function but in my Excel, after clicked the "Data", the "Get Data" icon doesn't show up. Do I need to pre-set something?

Thank you so much. Adobe was charging me so much for this facility.
If you have Ms. Office 2019, you can do this:

a. use "open with" on the pdf or "file>open" in Word
b. don't use drag-and-drop
