PDF to Excel

Is it possible to convert PDF data report to excel thru VB.NET?

Currently I am generating PDF report in my application using crystal.
The requirement is to also generate the same report in Excel. I know we
can do this by creating Excel template and filling the template with
required data. But wondering if there is any easy way to conver the PDF
report to Excel thru API calls.
Thanks in advance.

If you already use Crystal Reports to generate PDF reports then you can use
Crystal to generate your Excel reports too. For example:

To generate PDF you probably use this:
ReportObject.Ex portOptions.Exp ortFormatType =
CrystalDecision s.[Shared].ExportFormatTy pe.PortableDocF ormat

To generate an Excel file you just change it to:
ReportObject.Ex portOptions.Exp ortFormatType =
CrystalDecision s.[Shared].ExportFormatTy pe.Excel
