Just extract the text and put it into Excel tables.
It could be more easy with other PDF libraries.

Can I use PDFsharp to extract text from PDF?
This can be done at a low level. You can get at the characters in the order they are drawn - and most applications draw them from top-left to bottom-right. There are no high-level functions that return words, paragraphs, or whole pages.
We (empira) have no samples for that purpose and I cannot help you.
