Clicking in the table would probably only work on a tagged PDF. You might still be able to copy the table using the Table Select Tool - click on the down arrow next to the "Select Text" tool and you should get a few more options, including "Select Table." If all else fails, you can try BCL Jade to extract tables to a spreadsheet. It works on PDFs from just about any source, and doesn't require the PDFs to be tagged. You can download a free demo from our website at http://www.bcltechnologies.com.

Colleagues,
[sorry for the repeat -- sent before with wrong subject]
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
