Have you tried simply transmitting the PDF as BINARY?
What format are the spreadsheets:
o .csv?
o .xlsx?
o other (specify)?
If .csv, try:
iconv -f IBM-420 -t UTF-8 <CSV.420 >csv.utf-8
echo $?
... then transfer the converted .csv in BINARY to your desktop and open it.

following links from https://www.lbdsoftware.com/tcpip.html
I find a downloadable txt2pdf-19.113.tar.gz. In there, I find:
1049 $ ( cd txt2pdf-19.113/ucm && cat read* && ls -lrt )
These are some sample UCM files that can be used for encoding
PDFs in other than Adobe WinAnsiEncoding. The full store of
UCMs can be found at:

The doc suggests the .ucm are for code page translation. All three bear
IBM copyright notices. Perhaps IBM can supply an ibm-420.ucm file.
The icu-project.org URL seems outdated.
The code is Rexx.
