I have been asked this question on a regular basis, so I thought I would post how you save a pdf back to Excel. I am going to suggest two different ways. The first is to use the Selection tool that is located next to the Hand tool. Select the Excel data in the pdf and then right-click on the highlighted portion and you will have the option to save as a table or open in a spreadsheet. If the entire pdf was created in excel choose Edit from top menu and choose select all. Then right-click on the highlighted data and you will have the same options.

If the table spans multiple pages, be sure and choose the "continuous" pagination display option before selecting the data.

Have fun,

We are just getting back from the FIATECH conference and it I had to sum it up in two words it would be: Interoperability and ISO 15926. It was great to see the excitement and the vigor surrounding several efforts ongoing within the industry. FIATECH does a great job of bringing the thought leaders within the industry together to address technology and process as it relates to capital projects.
