Pdf is a very unfortunate format. It is proprietary, it is paper-oriented, its almost single goal is to keep precise printing layout. But for the last 30 years world didn't come up with anything that could compete.

PDF isn't the actual problem in this particular case. The documents here are photographs taken at different camera angles, embedded in PDFs.
I was going to say, using alt drag to select vertical columns is usually how I extract useable tables out from pdfs with embedded tables.
