title: How to extract data from a PDF?
body: <p>My company receives data from an external company via Excel.  We export this into SQL Server to run reports on the data.  They are now changing to PDF format, is there a way to reliably port the data from the PDF and insert it into our SQL Server 2008 database?</p>
  
  <p>Would this require writing an app or is there an automated way of doing this?</p>
