Hi, Rodemire

pdftotext is a command-line tool which converts PDFs to plain text --
you could try that and see what you get.

Everything depends on the format of the text in the pdf -- is it a
single stream of text, or multiple columns of data?

If the output is not what you want, but wrong in a consistent way, you
could use various text-processing tools to process it afterwards.

Regards,
