Is anyone aware of any converters which enables you to import PDF files into Excel.

Copy and paste will put the information into a single column and this can be converted by using "Text to Data" (tab and space as delimiters) but the column information does not get retained properly and cells have to be inserted to reproduce the original data under the original headings.

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Eh, you might want to have a look at Ghostscript:

This is a free software that basically generates text files from primarly postscript files, but it has also been developed to rip PDF's apart. I've found it useful in the past.
