PDF to CSV: a practical guide
A PDF table is a picture of data, not the data itself: the columns are positions on a page, not cells in a grid. This tool reads those positions back into rows and columns, and exports them as CSV so the data can be opened in a spreadsheet, filtered and totalled. Complex merged cells may need a quick tidy afterwards, but the bulk of the work is done for you.
