Answer 1

Yes, it would be the best if you knew the structure of the PDF document in question. Otherwise you still have regex to help you in data mining, but it might not prove 100% successful...

Answer 2

If you have the full Abode acrobat version they make it quite easy. However without it, it'd be a labor-intensive process because how the tables are embedded within the PDF makes extracting the data a jumble. There are ways (and doing a copy pasta to excel and righting a quick macro to get the data somewhat structured) but without knowing the format of the PDF file before it was embedded to a PDF, tables and line breaks complicate things and cause headaches. Maybe try a free trial of Adobe Acrobrat and see if that helps? Best of luck.
