How to Extract Data from Tables in a Public Record PDF
I recently published a story that was based on some data analysis I did of a report I obtained from the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services in VA. I wanted to share a quick walkthrough of how I extracted the data from tables in a PDF using a Python module called PDFplumber. I also uploaded a video to Youtube if you prefer that.

pdfplumber is also pretty good. It can help segment text a bit better than pdfminer can alone.

So you want to modify the text of a PDF by hand
Great post. I've spend a lot of time reading through the PDF specification over the last ~5 years while building DocSpring [1], and I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface. qpdf is a great tool. One of my other favorites is RUPS [2], which really lets you dig into the structure of a PDF.
