Transcribe PDFs Into Excel

I have a batch of scanned PDF documents that contain text-only content—names, addresses, short descriptions, nothing numerical—that must be re-typed into an Excel spreadsheet. Because the files are scans, the text can’t be copied or scraped; it needs careful, manual entry.
Here’s what I need from you:
• Open each PDF, read the text, and key it into the corresponding columns of a .xlsx file.
• Preserve original spelling, capitalization, and line breaks where relevant.
• Keep the pages in order so each PDF page lines up with the same row sequence in Excel.
• Double-check your work for accuracy before delivering.
Accuracy outweighs speed, but I still appreciate efficient turnaround. If you’re comfortable working with Excel (or Google Sheets) and have experience transcribing data from scanned sources, this should be straightforward.
I’ll supply the PDFs immediately after hiring and will stay available for quick clarifications. The final deliverable is a clean, fully populated Excel file that mirrors the text found in every scanned page.
