Hello,
I am trying to get data from a few PDF documents eventually into Stata. Anyone have experience in this? I have taken a screen shot: https://imgur.com/a/LweFy. I'd like each of the boxes to become an observation.
So far I have been using Adobe DC and Nitro Pro to convert them to Excel (both have their own set of problems).
A few specific questions I also have:
- Is there a way to cut the PDF documents so that each column can become a separate document? My next step is to try doing that in Microsoft Word.
- Is there a way to select only the shared boxes (as shown in the screen shot)?
Many thanks for any assistance.
