Hi

It depends on what type of PDF you are working with -

If it is Machine Readable (you can scrape the text with get text)

- If you are lucky you might be able to use Data Scraping on your table and it will be automatically converted to a table
- If not you will need to implement some kind of logic that gets all the table into an actual datatable or list (you will need to work a lot with the selectors)
- A get text together with regular expressions

If it is Citrix

- If it is possible move your file to your local computer, read it and use one of the solutions above.
- If not, Use a get OCR text, and then use regular expressions
