While most pdf readers are nowadays capable of copying text from pdf documents they usually do lack the ability to copy more complex data like tables or drawings from these documents.

Enter PDF to Excel and PDF to Word, two online services created by the same developer that convert pdf documents in microsoft word or microsoft excel documents. Both products are available online and simple to use. Three steps are required to convert the pdf document. The user needs to select a pdf document from the local computer system, pick a output format and enter an email address where the converted pdf document should be send to.

The test results have been impressive. Take a look at the screenshot of the first page of a pdf document and its Word conversion.

The conversion comes close to the original. Some parts might need some fine tuning but the overall look and feel of the pdf document has been carried over and probably more important than that the data in the tables looks exactly like that in the pdf document.

PDF to Excel (link) and PDF to Word (link) are two helpful online services for users who have to convert pdf documents into Word or Excel format.
