Convert pdf to excel
Hello, I have gone to the data option to convert a pdf to excel, and no option is listed. Am I looking at the wrong place? Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me. I contacted Microsoft support and this option was tried but did not worked. I have Professional 2019 so I am surprised it does not work. However, Customer Support showed me a different route using Word.
It's a shame I cannot use the excel option.
Thanks again.

Note that the page also indicates that .NET 4.5 or higher is also required

If you did make sure your system has .NET 4.5 or higher version and try again...
