Have you tried Open Office?

There's a free trial of this one too:

Signature995 package called pdfedit995 might get you there in a two step process.  It can extract into Word (or html) format, then use tables to put into Excel format.  Kind of cumbersome, but could get you there.

It is free, but you gotta watch the nag-wear.  Or pay about $30 to get ALL the stuff they do.

Have been using this for making and extracting pdf for 4 or 5 years (I need to pay them!) and it works well.

One nice benefit to my change over to Mac is you can save files directly to .pdf. I've downloaded an app for de-constructing them, but have not had to use it as of yet.

OpenOffice does this as well.  I also know of several free PDF print drivers that work pretty well.

I used Primo on my PC.  Worked great, but it worked by "printing" to a .pdf.  The more I use the Mac the more I'm liking it.
