I just did it on mine, but I have a Macintosh. Perhaps the Mac version of Office really is better than the PC version.
I inserted a picture from a file, and chose a PDF. It was that easy!

I really do not think this is possible. The whole point of Tifs and pdf's is to lock the content for printing purposes and prevent editing of the content. Excel charts are generated from values and formulas within the spreadsheet. Therefore, you would need the source data of the chart in Excel before creating the chart in Excel. My only advice would be to try to re-create the chart in excel by either locating the source data or just create the source data from scratch by looking at the data points on the pdf graph.
good luck.

I use Scansoft (now call Nuance) Omnipage 15 professional, scan in your chart, do OCR, then send it out to PDF or excell or HTML and other. You can down load a FREE trial program from Nuance; www.nuance.com,
Another program Scansoft - paperport V9, came FREE with my scaner. It work pretty good for me. I am not sure if there is a free copy you can download, But it come FREE with all the BROTHER scanner purchase.

Just insert the chart as an image. Insert > Picture > From File
There will be no function but it will display.
