I loaded the PDF into FoxIt Phantom (www.foxitsoftware.com) and exported the Form Data to an FDF file. After a quick search and replace in a text editor to strip the unwanted data I came up with this list.

I think your PDF file is based on excel. So if you really want to reuse the data, you can try some PDF to excel converter. Try AnyBizSoft studio products- AnyBizSoft PDF to excel conveter. AnyBizSoft studio is pro in PDF conversion. Just have a try:)

Am I missing something?

Acrobat Pro -> Forms -> Export Data (xml)
