Hey David,<br />
<br />
I would just subscribe to Adobe ExportPDF (it's like 20$/years) which allows you to batch convert PDF to Word/Excel by logging to the cloud service : <a href="https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" rel="ugc">https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf</a><br />
<br />
In the &quot;Select Files to export&quot; window, you can drag multiple files, convert them all at once, and download the result as a zip file (every PDF file in its own Excel file).<br />
<br />
Not sure you can find text in a PDF file the way you intend to do.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />
Sylvain

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have about 200 PDF files with a bunch of data in them.<br />
Sadly the data isn't in a table but it is copy and paste able.<br />
I want to be able to convert these PDF files into a table. <br />
My assumption would be to run a query on the PDF file in String format and say when you see the character: &nbsp;Collect the next several characters and place them into a table/CSV/Excel.<br />
<br />
My question is this probably has been done before like 1000 times. <br />
rather than re-inventing the wheel does anyone here have a tool or similar described above that can export PDF filed based upon string query's?

PDF to Excel

A Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format consisting of an electronic image resembling a printed document and can be viewed, printed, and electronically transmitted. PDF files can store various types of data, including formatted text, vector graphics, and raster images. The page layout defines the location, size, and shape of each page and each item on the page. The information looks the same no matter what device or program is used to open it.
