So long as pdf tables are defined (just hit the letter t in the pdf to
check if defined or not) the copy function in Windows will let you copy
to Word. There, a table appears but there is no facility I know of to
name row and column titles in Word so that you can know the header for
the column and row you are in. However, by copying the entire Word
table to Excel using Control A to highlight the entire table you will
get an Excel file whose column and row headers can be read after you
first designate them using the Quick Settings (Insert V) feature in
Excel. But there's a catch
I copied a table from a pef to Excel using the above method but
apparently entry was via link or formula from another spreadsheet (cells
read with a range of addresses rather than its current address) and the
first cell of the column titles was suppressed. This rendered column
heads reading unworkable. But row headers read just fine.
Anyone know a better method for reading pdf tables than I suggested
above? Using Office 2010 and Win 7.
