I may be able to help you, but I need more explanation as to what's on the form. If there's cells that contain formulas, then that's not going to port over. Those are built into the form fields from Acrobat or LiveCycle.
If it's just a matter of taking a simple spreadsheet with no formulas, then the program you're looking for is PDF2Office. PDF2Office builds paragraphs, sections, columns, creates tables and so on to recreate the layout of the original file. From there, you'll have to open it in Word and then take the table and paste it into Excel. It will still require a little cleanup after that.
Really, without looking at the form, I can't help you much. Check the file properties and find out what the originating application is. That will help to determine what can and can't be done if you were to copy the content or export it.
Whatever you do, there's going to be a little bit of work involved.
