How to Extract Data from PDF to Excel or Word?
There are plenty of online services and tools available to convert a PDF to a Word document.
Few PDF documents have only text content and it is possible to copy the text & paste it in a Word or Excel document. But some PDF content has tables and too much of formatting. In that case, we will not be able to copy the complete document in same format as how it is displayed with a PDF viewer.
In such cases, users search for a free converter tools. One such online tool is provided by Cometdocs.
