Software that can extract tables from PDF files

ABLE2EXTRACT PDF CONVERTER does this brilliantly well. You can check demo video on their page. The thing I love about this software is (and I think its unique to this product alone):

1. You can just select an area from a page (a table in our case) on PDF and ask it to convert.

3. After conversion it takes care of Number formatting too.

They have a free online converter too for casual users. Here is a sample:
