1. Write a script to convert a file in csv file and check it on your files.
2. Convert all files to csv files.
3. Extract needed information.

The first step is possible using a lot of tools - I used Poppler:
Code:
pdftotext -layout 01.pdf -| sed '$d' |  tail -n5 | sed -r 's/  +/,/g; s/ //g' 
Georgia,-,1,2,9,29,963,938,1283,-,10,5,19
SouthCarolina,-,74,63,158,19,4680,4362,9454,-,25,18,10
Alabama,-,14,28,24,8,1026,1026,1049,-,6,9,6
Florida,3,92,88,186,85,3222,3233,5409,-,13,9,4
California,2,199,169,582,60,5640,5259,10475,-,30,33,64

Try the first step (and check it on your files). Then it's easy to manage the second and third steps.
