Then there's no reason to expect it to work with Export PDF. The file was built incorrectly and as a result the text from it can't be extracted.

Unless the PDF was made from Excel and had the tag option enabled it might not be possible to get a good conversion.
What specific product are you using to perform the conversion?
There is an option within Acrobat that can convert from a tagged PDF to Excel and there is a web service for users with Reader that can try to perform the conversion. Note that Acrobat is paid for and very different from the free Reader.
Text is all caps has a special and rude connotation in forums. It is best not to post using all caps. It is harder to read and not appreciated.

I paid for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. I tried to convert again and now this is what I get. Unreadable characters. Here I paste and copy portion for you.

Acrobat Reader DC is free. What exactly did you pay for?

OK, that makes more sense.
The problem is most likely with the file you're exporting from... What do you see if you select the text in that file, copy it and then paste it into something like Notepad or Word? Does it come out legible?

I copy and paste it into word. It's not legible.
