in reply to How to Extract PDF tables using Perl

In the general case (maybe your case is simpler) extracting tables from pdf is a non-trivial task.

I am not aware of any perl-module that can do it.

The only software that ever worked for me was http://tabula.technology/ which is a Java-program but uses pretty good heuristics to identify and extracting tables in pdf.

    And they have done it.

      Ask them how they did it and then do it that way. Problem solved.

        And then wrap that "how" up into a CPAN module. :-)
