This will do some of the work. Once in Excel, you will need to do some more work, but not as much as if you have to cut and paste each line.
The sections are grouped together and it will take a few minutes to delete the cruft and get them where you want them. You might be able to speed this up if you delete the cover page, and any other pages that don't transactions on them, before saving as other.
There are probably other PDF -> XLS converters out there. You probably do not want to use a web based once, given the data involved.
That's actually what I ended up doing. Good thing I have Acrobat Pro too. I have no idea why Chase would not let you download at least 18 months of transactions. For now I setup calendar reminders every 3 months to download the records...
