I am away from my desk and need to convert a PDF price list into an Excel spreadsheet right from my Android phone. I tried copying and pasting the text manually, but all the columns get completely messed up. Is there a reliable way to extract the tables cleanly while on mobile?

Honestly, the simplest way is opening it in the Microsoft 365 app on your phone and exporting it to Excel. I do this with vendor price lists on site all the time and it usually keeps the table formating intact.
