Hey guys I was wondering if there is a method to convert certain fields of information from a PDF(app we use is BlueBeam Revu) and input it into an excel spreadsheet.
What I'm trying to do is create a receipt based on the information coming from construction plans. Tricky part is that the information I need
from these plans is on different areas of the page with each new project. EG) Image Attached
Is there a way to extract that information circled and input it into certain designated cells for each color? Thank you:yes

Then that makes it very difficult.... but, and you can correct me if I'm wrong here, did you mean that its always in the section on the right hand side of the page but scattered?

Images sadly are nearly useless in cases like this, given that we are unable to discern either the properties to which you understand but we do not, having not ever seen this layout before. Try attaching a screenshot as a pdf instead or even better a copy of a file with non commercial information.

Can you also attach a sample excel file showing an example of how you would like the information to be laid out. In the mean time we'd have a better chance of playing the Moonlight Sonata with golf balls taped to our fingers.
