It depends entirely on the formatting of the PDF. You can easily grab text from PDFs and paste it, but depending on the formatting it could be either a piece of cake or a dogs dinner.

I'd be tempted to have a look at running the text through notepad and creating a csv file.

excel will open the csv file and allow you to convert it to excel and work with the data however you want. The beauty of running through notepad is stripping out all the graphicy garbage that can come from a pdf, leaving just the data, then adding commas to your data to create your tabular format is quite easy, then Excel will recognise the data in a tabular form. It souldns much more complicated than it is, it's what I do at work when I want data from web pages.
