Cleaning a PDF for Export to Excel

I am trying to use Omni Page Pro 15 or the accompanying pdf Converter to drag tables out of a pdf file into excel.  Some of the column lines in a few of the tables are a bit light and Omni Page doesn't pick them up and consequently puts two horizontally adjacent cells into one cell.

What is the best way to clean the pdf to avoid this.  I have tried everything I can think of.  I am fairly new to this.

Oh, small side note, I would like to find a command to do it instead of the "Draw Column Line" command in Omni Page as I have 1,000 sixty page pdf files to do this to a month.

Thanks,

Artie

Re: Cleaning a PDF for Export to Excel

Hi --

Here are a couple of ideas:

* You are going to have to check the Omni Page Pro documentation for assistance.

* If you are using Acrobat 8, select the table, right-click to display the shortcut menu and choose Export to Spreadsheet to open it in Excel.
