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!

RE: Tables in PDF files
I regularly analyse quarterly and annual reports, open an Excel worksheet and use Dragon (now version 15 individual) to dictate balance sheets and profit and loss accounts in preparation for mathematical-statistical evaluations. An alternative method of preparing such type of data would be quite welcome.

Yes, There are many documents that I have to send out or print out in PDF format that I would love to be able to harvest in Excel and/or Access or some other database file system that I can manipulate on my PC.
