    Tabula is a tool for liberating data tables trapped inside PDF files

    For table extraction from pdfs, have a look at Tabula and Camelot, two open-source projects. They work well with clean tables, both the Tabula Python binding and Camelot allow you to export directly as a pandas dataframe. Otherwise AWS Textract API is very efficient at extracting tables from pdfs, regardless of how clean/messy they are.
