CSV now, or APIs/Linked Data later? | Richard's WP blog
"If a museum simply spits out a CSV file of collections data, it is missing a major opportunity to publish its collection, authoritatively, and to do so in a way which allows others to build on that core information set, comment on it, “like” objects in the collection, etc. It is also requiring anyone who wants to use that information to process it first, interpret it as best they can, and store the results of that additional work somewhere where no-one else can benefit from it. Neither party benefits from this."

Adobe Forums: extract table form pdf file
"there is no such thing as a "table" in a PDF. That may be how you as the viewer interprets the data, but in the PDF specification there is nothing defining a "table". You would need to design your own logic to determine what parts of the PDF content you want to consider a "table" and then based on that, extract the data you want."
