How to extract table data from PDF as CSV from the command line?

I want to extract all rows from here while ignoring the column headers as well as all page headers, i.e. Supported Devices.

Answer 1

This can be done easily with an IntelliGet (http://akribiatech.com/intelliget) script as below

userVariables = brand, name, device, model;
{ start = Not(Or(Or(IsSubstring("Supported Devices",Line(0)),
                  IsSubstring("Retail Branding",Line(0))),
                IsEqual(Length(Trim(Line(0))),0))); 
  brand = Trim(Substring(Line(0),10,44));
  name = Trim(Substring(Line(0),45,79));
  device = Trim(Substring(Line(0),80,114));
  model = Trim(Substring(Line(0),115,200));
  output = Concat(brand, ",", name, ",", device, ",", model);
}
