 depending on the format and how consistent the PDF formats are that you generated way back when, you could use a simple python library like PDFMiner and then export your title, summary, and text into a CSV and import that into excel. but if your PDF structure isn't uniform you might need to do some hand editing on the final product. if you aren't familiar with python, or scripting in general, I'm unsure how you would proceed.
