You should be able to use a PDF parsing library to extract the text. This could be very easy to impossible. It depends on how the table is represented internally. If it is represented as an image you will also need an OCR library. In the easiest case you could just extract all the text as a string and split rows according to newlines and columns according to tabs or other whitespace.

Try this one and see what happens: http://www.squarepdf.net/parsing-pdf-files-using-itextsharp

Edit: I focused on the reading the PDF part. The writing to Excel is more than covered with a quick google search.
