Hello,

I have leads coming in a PDF. I have adobe and can convert to an excel spreadsheet. BUT they do not format correctly. As my spreadsheets I use are for a mail merge. Is there a work around for this?

I agree with Ericka.  Getting things to format correctly in Excel is a challenge if you are trying to convert from a PDF or other similar formats.  Excel needs things to be aligned just right or it shifts the data to another column.  Then if you throw in headers, footers and titles it really messes things up. 

It might just be easier to pay a VA to type your leads into an excel sheet.
