Export PDF values from different PDFs into excel table

[MACARO]

Does anyone know if it is possible to export some values from several PDFs into an excel table? This is needed to create reports from POs that have always the same format.

It's easy to export all values from several PDF filse into an Excel spreadsheet. You can then remove then ones you don't need in Excel.

To do so use the Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet command under Tools - Forms - More Form Options.

Thank you for your answer. I just need to export 4 values into a table  from a 10 page PDFs. if I merge all this documents will end up with a huge file.

The only way of doing that is by using a custom-made script combined with an Action.

I usually take a different route for things that are not straight forward in Acrobat: You can create an Excel macro that allows you to select multiple PDF files, and then retrieve the information from just the handful of fields that you need, and create an Excel spreadsheet (or add data to an existing document). If you want to do that, take a look at this tutorial with some sample code I wrote a while ago:
