I'm trying to create some spreadsheets containing nutritional data.
Sample documents I'm using for input include:
https://choosemyplate-prod.azureedge.net/sites/default/files/2WeekMenusGroceryList.pdf
https://choosemyplate-prod.azureedge.net/sites/default/files/2WeekMenusAndFoodGroupContent.pdf
http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/files/docs/public/heart/new_dash.pdf
Using "pdftotext -layout input.pdf output.txt" is tantalizingly close
to what I want.
When PRINTED that visually preserves relationships.
I wish to copy a column of data to a spreadsheet, but can only select
horizontally, NOT vertically.
I suspect it may not be practical in the general case.
Are there any examples that might come close?
