PDF to iWork

Writes Numbers spreadsheets only: it cannot make Pages or Keynote files. Extracts the tables from a PDF with selectable text and writes them as a Numbers document (.numbers), one sheet per table. Numbers, percentages, currency and dates become real values; codes and values with leading zeros stay text, and a table that runs over several pages is joined. It extracts tables, not whole pages: text outside the tables is kept, line by line, on a last sheet called "Text outside tables", pictures, charts and drawings are not carried over, merged cells and tables without ruling lines may split wrongly, and a PDF with no table is refused. A scanned PDF needs OCR PDF first. Converting needs a server, so the file is sent over an encrypted connection, converted, and the copy there is deleted as soon as the result is sent back, unless you are signed in and asked to keep it.
