Change it automatically.
When you turn your PDF into an XLS or XLSX file extension with Acrobat, you can rest easy knowing that all your columns, layouts, and formatting carry over. No more reformatting or manual data entry.
Work from anywhere.
Use the export tool on your browser or mobile device to change your PDF files into fully editable spreadsheets no matter where you are.
Make scans editable.
If you just have a print-out, all you have to do is scan to PDF and then change it into an Excel document. The Acrobat PDF converter automatically extracts and formats the data into editable text thanks to optical character recognition (OCR).
Choose only the data you need.
When you don’t have to edit an entire PDF, simply select the data you need and let the OCR technology take care of the Excel conversion.
How to change PDF files into editable spreadsheets:
- Open a PDF file in Acrobat.
- Click on the Export PDF tool in the right pane.
- Choose spreadsheet as your export format, and then select Microsoft Excel Workbook.
- Click Export. If your PDF documents contain scanned text, Acrobat will run text recognition automatically.
- Save the converted file:
Name your new Excel file and click the Save button. That’s it.
