I just played with one earlier and the OCR is pretty clean.
quote:

you can scan the file for "Date" and then write the following data.


How do I link it to the excel file?

The ocr result is simply text so the next step would be to save that and parse the "Factor" values by locating them with something like a regex expression and then grab the values to the right. This could then be written to a .csv or .xls file. There is no utility you can buy to do exactly what you are looking for, would need to be custom coded.
