Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Pdf to xls or csv Linux Post 302880539 by cjcox on Friday 20th of December 2013 10:24:19 AM

pdf really isn't made to allow this to happen. A pdf can contain many types of content. Shoot, the spreadsheet data could be inside of an image. Attempting pdftotext or other program is probably your best bet, but only as a starting point and even then, as I mentioned, not necessarily a full proof solution.

With all of that said, if the pdf file is something that is regularly generated in the same way, maybe if a sample were posted somewhere, something could be created (maybe by someone here) to extract the data as a csv.

Recommendation, upload the sample pdf somewhere (or provide a link)... and then let's see what is possible.

winff

WINFF(1)																  WINFF(1)

NAME

       winff - video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg

SYNOPSIS

       winff

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the winff command. This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation pdf format; see below.

       WinFF is a graphical user interface for the command line video converter ffmpeg. It runs ffmpeg from the command line. So, you just pick
       your files and it does the rest.

       WinFF doesn't actually convert any video files. It just runs ffmpeg. Therefore, It will convert any video file that ffmpeg will convert.
       Conversely, if ffmpeg will not convert the file, then WinFF will not either.

SEE ALSO

       For more details, you should have a look at the pdf manual, available at /usr/share/doc/winff/winff.pdf
