I have a multi-page PDF that blends paragraphs of text with embedded tables, and I need every single element—no exceptions—reproduced in Excel while keeping the logical order intact. The final workbook should let me sort, filter, or run formulas on the data without having to clean it further.
Because the file is a mix of textual narratives and tabular data, I’m open to whatever blend of tools you prefer—whether that’s Adobe Acrobat, Power Query, Python + pandas, or a purpose-built OCR engine—so long as the output is accurate to the character and the layout remains clear. Speed is welcome, but fidelity comes first; superscripts, special characters, and column breaks all need to land in the right cells.
When you send your proposal, please walk me through the exact steps you’ll use, any quality-control checks you run, and your estimated turnaround time. Feel free to include a short sample plan or screenshot from a similar job if you have one.
Deliverables
• An Excel (.xlsx) file that contains every table and every block of text from the original PDF, arranged logically.
• A brief log or read-me noting any ambiguous elements you encountered and how you resolved them.
I will review proposals that explain the workflow in detail and demonstrate that you can preserve both text integrity and table structure without manual clean-up on my end.
