I can save a PDF back to Word but not Excel…WHY?

Well this is a question for the ages now isn’t it.  Why? Is Word more important than Excel?  Only Microsoft can tell us that! I do get asked many times, “Tim, why can I export a PDFback to Word and not Excel, or PowerPoint?â€? 

Ok, let’s look at this a little, why ever export back to any format?  Well, there are a few answers here, mostly for lost of original documents, but also for simple data reuse.  So why only Word?  (â€?Don’t get pushy here!â€?) Well because Word is a universal format within the Microsoft world.  I can copy from Word into all other Office products, with decent fidelity.  But, you say that spreadsheets are different!  They have tables, rows, columns, lions, tigers, and bears, Oh My! But never fear my young PDFling, there is a way to get your table data out of PDF directly to Excel!

Watch, enjoy and put some life in your life.
