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!

It's not uncommon for pdf's to be used instead of spreadsheet or csv file. I definitely feel we need to be able load data from a pdf into Excel via Power Query/ Power Pivot.

Would save a ton of time each month. Having a reusable set of rules to process PDFs would be awesome!

This would be great, as we often get these PDF files (reports) from our clients. It costs us a couple of days to get it back into a workable format.
