Hi there!
If you have any alternatives to doing this, use them. Extracting data
from PDFs like this is hugely unreliable because the order in which page
elements show up in a PDF varies enormously. What works for one PDF may
give you complete nonsense for the next.
If you must do it this way, there are modules called PyPDF and PyPDF2 in
PyPI which will allow you to extract the text from the PDF. You are on
your own for working out how to parse the tables out of that text,
though; the structures in the data you are hoping for simply don't exist.
