I have come across so many public data repositories that hold data in PDF format. Other websites have tables within documents such as annual reports etc., also in PDF format. A data source for PDFs or tables from PDFs would be awesome!

I agree that having the ability to import PDF tables directly into Excel would be beneficial.

Excellent idea!

Good idea. It is about time Microsoft Office officially support imports of PDF Text format in all tools.
I use ABBYY to do such conversions, which works excellent in many languages, but, why have Microsoft officially do it ?

I use Nitro Pro on a regular basis to convert PDF datato Excel. It works quite well, but very often information appears in wrong cells (multiple columns etc.)

I use Adobe 11 but then I have to do a lot of work even use power query to put every thing in place
