title: How to scrape tables in thousands of PDF files?
body: <p>I have about 1'500 PDFs consisting of only 1 page each, and exhibiting the same structure (see <a href="http://files.newsnetz.ch/extern/interactive/downloads/BAG_15m_kzh_2012_de.pdf">http://files.newsnetz.ch/extern/interactive/downloads/BAG_15m_kzh_2012_de.pdf</a> for an example). </p>
  
  <p>What I am looking for is a way to iterate over all these files (locally, if possible) and extract the actual contents of the table (as CSV, stored into a SQLite DB, whatever). </p>
  
  <p>I would love to do this in Node.js, but couldn't find any suitable libraries for parsing such stuff. Do you know of any? </p>
  
  <p>If not possible in Node.js, I could also code it in Python, if there are better methods available. </p>
