Send to Excel

Top  Previous  Next

What if you found an interesting chart on your PDF file, and want to use it in your spreadsheets? Copy and paste? Yes, you can. Why not combine copy and paste to send?

 

Select your desired chart, illustrations, figures, or other graphical elements, and click the Send To Excel icon excel on the tool bar, or from the menu Send->Send To Excel. That's all.

 

PDF Copy Paste first searches for an active Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and decides if your desired content can be copied and pasted into the active window; the software would otherwise create a new spreadsheet, and paste the content into the new spreadsheet.

 

This feature saves you time that would otherwise spent on copy and paste operations, and simplifies the process as one mouse click.

 

Here are two examples,

 

Example A: Send a portion of a PDF file to Microsoft Excel

 

1. Start PDF Copy Paste

2. Use the cropping tool to select your desired graphical element

3. Click the Send To Excel excel button on the tool bar

4. Wait for a few seconds until the Connecting to Excel... message disappears from the status bar, and see your selected portion is sent to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

 

Example B: Send a full page to Microsoft Excel

 

1. Start PDF Copy Paste

2. Navigate to the page of your interest

3. Click the Send To Excel excel button on the tool bar

4. Wait for a few seconds until the Connecting to Excel... message disappears from the status bar, and see your selected portion is sent to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

 

Note: You can only send your selected portion or your PDF page as an image to Microsoft Excel. If you want to send your content to Microsoft Excel as pure text, you have to copy it as text and paste it into your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
