Someone sent me a picture of an excel print-out via fax (has to legally and can't send the electronic file), is there a software that will take the picture and input the information in a new Excel as a working doc (not a input pictures).

You've come to the wrong place. With that being said try bluebeam.

No. Your best bet is to run the PDF (or convert it to PDF) and run OCR text recognition using Adobe acrobat and then copy and paste

My NEAT desk scanner can do it.
I can scan almost anything and it can take the names, addresses and money values and convert them over to a spreadsheet.
So I'm sure there is some text reader that can, but your best bet may be just to transpose it yourself.

Doesn't adobe have something that will convert images into text? In my experience, if it is a lot of data, when you convert something like that, there will likely be mistakes throughout the data. Something might get interpreted wrong, etc.. And it could affect your data.
Pay me and I will get the info in there for you.

If you can get it to PDF you can then save it as an Excel document. I've only tried it once and it didn't work great but it's possible. Also I want using great software.

Seems like I used to open something like that in word, then "save as" excel doc

Yes, if it is converted to a off that has recognizable text that you can copy. You probably can't paste directly to excel but if you paste to a text document like notepad you will be able to import into excel.

If it isn't recognizable the pro versions of pdf editors have the ability to make the text recognizable.
