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.
