As a mechanical engineer, I want to convert tables in pdf to Excel. Basically import a .pdf and export a .xlsx with a sheet for each table in the document.

With some experience in serving a similar need, the problem is not the lack of resources on the internet but the privacy and security. Be ready to respond to user concerns around it. Occasionally, you may have to handle free sign-up abusals.

I would like to see if I can parse large number of PDF in one or at max two API calls and something that's very cheap. I don't want to pay you tens of dollars since our demand is dynamic.
