Extract PDF Form Data to Excel

I have a batch of PDF forms filled in with text-only answers. The catch is that the information was typed into open, unlabeled spaces, so there is no tidy table or predefined field to grab; each file looks slightly different even though the same questions were asked. I need every answer lifted out, organised into consistent column headers of my choosing, and delivered in one clean Excel workbook that I can plug straight into our reporting dashboards.
You may decide whether to script the extraction with Python, Acrobat JavaScript, OCR utilities, or handle it manually—accuracy matters more than method. What I will check is that every PDF turns into one fully populated row, that spelling remains intact, and that comparable answers appear in the same column throughout the sheet.
Deliverable:
• A single Excel (.xlsx) file containing all records, ready for pivoting and charting, with no stray line breaks or merged cells.
I will share a small sample first so you can confirm the mapping approach before proceeding with the full set. Let me know the turnaround you can confidently meet and any clarifying questions you have about the layout I expect.
