Possible to import pdf data onlin into excel? Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to import pdf data from the internet into excel?  Or do I need a special adobe acrobat program to do so?  

Basically, I need to be able to automatically refresh data connected to pdf's online so that I can use that data in pivot tables.  Examples of data I might use are coffee or sugar prices.  Would I have any luck?

Thanks to anyone for helping!

I have just created an Excel VBA routine that uses an open source PDF to text conversion utility and then imports data from multiple PDF files based on matching rules into a structured Excel table. You can download and use this for free at https://www.business-spreadsheets.com/forum.asp?t=884

I use EDI Link Connect. It will convert a PDF (like an invoice or Purchase Order) into a file that can be used with Excel, Quickbooks or Simply Accounting. It was designed for people who do more than about 2 hours/month of inputting data from a PDF. Works great for converting Invoices & Purchase Orders into Excel files or compatible with Quickbooks & Simply Accounting. Here is an article about it for more info:

Its not free since its not for personal use but rather for businesses who want to save data entry and errors.

Hope that helps.
