can you go back to the source and get the same data in another format?
AFAIK, there's no way to import from a PDF; you might be able to grab teh text programatically, but it won't be in a format that you can use;
you could try converting to Text, or to Word O0nline, but that's going to be just as flaky as far as formatting goes.
i tried five different PDF's just now...some do not have the To Text option, even though it's filled with copy/pasteable text, and the ones that did have the option were mostly unreadable as far as text anyway...
