Bug#820171: RFP: pdftable -- extract tables from PDF files

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

I've asked around for alternatives for PDF scraping, and got a tip about
<URL: http://tabula.technology/ > (still being developed),
<URL: https://github.com/okfn/pdftables > (no longer developed) and
finally <URL: http://pdftables.com > which is the commercial successor
of the discontinued github project.

Might be a better alternative, as pdftable seem to no longer be
maintained either.

Tabula written in Java seem to be the only maintained free software
project for scraping tables out of PDFs.
