Is there a way to take the information in this link:
http://204.65.203.5/public/441280noadd.pdp

and convert it into an excel spreadsheet that separates the information
according to name, zip code, etc?

This is the main website with numerous listings. The file is in PDF too.

Thank you!

Using the first link, I copied the displayed text to Notepad and saved it as
a .txt file. Then I opened Excel and used Data --> Import External Data with
settings to look for .txt, .dat & .csv type files and made sure the data
separator was a comma and it imported into Excel very nicely.

First Link>right click>export to msexcel
after imported use text to columns>comma
or just use this macro to do it all for you
Sub GetExternalDataSAS()
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://204.65.203.5/public/441280noadd.pdp", _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.WebSelectionType = xlEntirePage
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Columns(1).TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), _
DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar:=","
End Sub
