The custom PDF to Excel feature, as you well know, is aimed at giving you a user friendly way to gain as much control over the data conversion as possible. With the large amount of rows and columns of data you have at your fingertips, the ability to work efficiently with your tables is important. It's also possible to use the "Transform Data" function to clean the data first.Converting PDF to Excel is always a tedious task. Users can select "one or multiple elements to import into Excel," the announcement explained. They select "From File" and then "From PDF" to import data.Īfter that's done, end users will see a so-called "Navigator window." It lets them select from a list of tables within the PDF document, identified by page number. Technically, Microsoft built a "PDF data connector" for Excel, which lets end users import PDF table data using the Data tab in Excel. It's these Current Channel users that will see the PDF table data import feature first, prior to a larger and more general rollout. The Current Channel signifies that Office 365 feature updates will arrive on a monthly basis. Microsoft recently revamped its Office 365 feature-update channel names. Users with paid Office 365 subscriptions whose organizations opted to receive so-called "Current Channel" feature updates are starting to get access to the Excel PDF table import feature. The ability to grab table data from PDF files seems like it should already have been there in Excel, but it's just rolling out now. Microsoft announced this week that's it's now possible for Office 365 users to import table data from Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files into the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program.
