how can we covert pdf file of w-2 to excel

Hi, co8.

You can only open or export the form to Excel or as a PDF file. Neither of the two options you choose, you'll need to manually convert them to Open Office.

Here are the steps:

1. Open a file in Acrobat.
2. Click on the Export PDF tool in the right pane.
3. Choose spreadsheet as your export format, and then select Microsoft Excel Workbook.
4. Click Export. If your PDF contains scanned text, Acrobat will run text recognition automatically.
5. Name the Excel file and save it in the desired location.
