I've never had a use case to convert PDF to Excel, but what other libraries did you try?
PDFTables looks promising:
https://pdftables.com/pdf-to-excel-api#php
https://github.com/pdftables/php-pdftables-api
If it needs to be done with the PDF to HTML library you're using, I don't know of an easy/clean way to do this.
Based on the Question, each page returns a string containing all the paragraph elements?
If returns an array of elements, you should be able to loop over each paragraph and use strip_tags() to get the individual values.
If it's a string, look into using Simple HTML Dom to parse the HTML elements from string format so that you can work with the HTML more easily.
$html = str_get_html('<div id="hello">Hello</div><div id="world">World</div>');
