ABBYY has an export to excel spreadsheet option that was not perfect, but worked better than expected.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Converting old tables in PDF to CSV

Hello List,
Has anyone had success converting tables in a PDF to CSV? These are scans of paper from the 70s on forward. I know this isn’t a super easy conversion, but I would think it’s not impossible either.
Thanks,
Andrea
