One way to convert a PDF file to an Excel spreadsheet without using OCR software is to first open the PDF file in Microsoft Word. Once the PDF is open in Word, you can simply press Alt + F + A + O to launch the Save As dialog box. From there, choose to save the file as an HTML Web Page file type. This will convert the PDF content into an HTML file that can then be easily imported into Excel.
Alternatively, you can use an online PDF to Excel conversion tool, such as the one available through Adobe Acrobat. With this method, you simply need to drag and drop your PDF file into the conversion tool, then click to download the resulting Excel file. The tool will automatically transfer the tables and other content from the PDF into rows and columns in the Excel spreadsheet. This is a quick and easy way to convert PDF to Excel without any special software.
