1 Open the desired PDF document in Acrobat Standard or Professional.
2 Select "Export" under "File" and choose "Text." Some versions of Acrobat include options for "Text (accessible)" and "Text (plain);" choose "Text (accessible)" to preserve basic formatting.
3 Type the file name for the converted document and click the "Save" button. Acrobat saves text files as tab-delimited files.
4 Launch the spreadsheet application (such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc) and select "Open" under "File" in the top menu bar.
5 Select the text file created in Step 3 and click the "Open" button to launch an Import Wizard.
6 Review the pages in the Import Wizard to select how the data is organized in columns and click the "Next" button to navigate through the wizard. For example, select "Delimited" to specify fields and click the option next to "Space" or "Comma" to specify how the fields are separated.
7 Click the "Finish" button.
8 Select the "Save As" function (usually under "File" in the top menu bar) and select the file type as "CSV (Comma-Separated Values)." Select "CSV (Windows)" instead of "CSV (MS-DOS)" if this option is displayed.
9 Click the "Save" button.
That should do it.
