Colleagues,

In Acrobat 6 Pro, one is supposed to be able to copy a table from a PDF document and paste it into Excel or, more expeditiously, 'Open Table as Spreadsheet'.

I have been trying to extract tables from a document and, so far, have had no success whatsoever. I note that I cannot, as Acrobat Help suggests on page 152, 'Click in the table to select the entire table'.

Here are the specifications.

Windows 2000 SP 3 on P III.
Acrobat 6 Pro
Microsoft Excel 2000 (9.0.3821 SR-1)
Microsoft Word 2000 (9.0.3821 SR-1)

Document in PDF 1.4
-- no security, not tagged
-- created with Acrobat Distiller 5.0 (Windows)

Document orginated in FrameMaker 6

Has anyone used this feature successfully?
Are there conditions under which it would not work?
is it limited to tables created in MSWord or Excel?

Many thanks,
Lindsey Martin
