Hello, I would like to convert a PDF to Excel using a simple linux
command line tool. Anyone know if that is possible? The tool coul
also be a windows tool, but I am looking for a tool that is completel
automated, with no user intevention.

The reason is that I have a program that downloads PDFs every hour o
so, and I would like to convert that pdf to an excel sheet so i coul
grab data off it easily.

Or maybe, does anyone know of an easier way to grab tables informatio
off PDFS?

thank

If you come up with a specific macro to utilize one of the programs
perhaps you would help others by posting it to this newsgroup.
