Tables in PDF files

[gogula1]

I have come across so many public data repositories that hold data in PDF format. Other websites have tables within documents such as annual reports etc., also in PDF format. A data source for PDFs or tables from PDFs would be awesome!

I workd with PDF's and Excel everyday! This would be fantastic!

It would be nice to have this feature in Excel. The current PDF converter tool to export a PDF to Excel is lacking in functionality. A majority of the time the conversion to Excel is very difficult to work with.

If I could copy data from a PDF into a spread sheet, It would save me literally days of data input time.

yes would be amazing if something worked properly as converters even have issues

Honestly, the gov't still insists on sending pdfs and telling us we need to update our figures. Would be great to not have to manually type in those numbers.

I use a third party software to perform this task. There remains quite a bit of clear up of the data afterwards. If this would save this effort, them I'm all in!
