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
A good idea that would very useful. If you use Adobe Acrobat (not reader) and the data is already in a table you can drop it into excel but it is not always perfect. You sometimes have to clean the data up.

For me as a translator this would be a life saver. So many times clients send you the source as a PDF file with lots of figures in tables. They don't pay for the figures, only for the text parts, but they still expect the figures to be in the translation as well. If there would be an easy way to get the tables into Excel that would solve a big headache.
