Pretty much nothing can convert arbitrary PDF files to unicode. It depends a lot on what is in the PDF to begin with -- properly encoded text or just bitmapped images, for example. I would recommend you search around to see whether there's a related archive in a different format. And in any case, this has nothing to do with "XLS" , as Excel can read any unicode file.
