Excel and PDF
An initial observation: I find it hard to believe that expenses from one trip--for "hotel cost, plane ticket, Uber"-- would totally wipe out budget lines for travel in those categories. It certainly would be the case that the balance would be reduced, and that you'd want to track that but to draw a line through it, not likely.
How extensive (how many rows and columns) does that PDF budget sheet contain? I'm thinking that rather than coming up with a way to have Excel and the PDF interact with one another, it would be far easier--as in FFFFAAAARRRRR easier--to just recreate/copy those budget figures, categories and all into a spreadsheet of their own, and then use another sheet in the same workbook to enter expenses and reduce the remaining budget allocations for that category.
