Unhappy .pdf to excel problems

Hi All,

This thread refers to a .pdf located at...
http://www.qldraceways.com.au/pdf/r_...%20Results.pdf

I want to copy/paste the data into excel, so I can sort the data, rather then just print a tree and do everything manually. But the structure of the .pdf document does not support this.

How can I best copy/paste this data into excel, please.

What i do at the moment....
open pdf
control A (to select all)
control C (to copy)
open excel 2007
control V (to paste)

Question

Thanks for the link, I'll try again but when I tried yesterday, (at work just before going home) it took over 15 mins, and I had to abort.
Should it take that long ?

Yeah, it took a while for the email to come through. The converter makes 7 Excel worksheets, see attached zipped xml file.
