Stu: Will Foxit do what you need? Not on a PC to check it out properly.

I will need to do 1 convert per week it turns out. Foxit it $195 NZD.

depending on how the data in the pdf was originally generated you might find that once you convert it its not going to come out formatted perfectly.. 

Word can open PDF's natively , again might not be formatted perfectly but at least it will be editable where you can copy + paste into exel

Also, just be careful with "free" online conversions especially if its sensitive data.. who knows whos hands the information ends up in

If you're doing this for work or business, ditch the additional admin  / stress and go for a paid solution if its going to do what you need in a few clicks and always be there when you need it

davidcole: What about just selecting all the PDF text and pasting to word, excel

Thanks davidcole & dt, this is the route I will take, seems easy enough for the once a week that I will need to do it.

Don’t know if this helps - saw it recently and thought it was pretty cool and interesting:

Look at PDFBox... Open Source Java app and toolkit for manipulating PDFs. Conceivably you could convert from PDF to CSV, then load that to Excel.

NB that if your PDF table  contains text that is wrapped into columns, it becomes a much harder problem.
