Parsing a PDF file

[-hh]

[Description for MacOS, works on Win/Linux similar.]

The best results for extracting tables from PDF I had with the free "RAW"
method:

= Open the file with Preview.
= Select All (menu Edit). Copy.
= Go to a LC stack with a field "INCOMING"
= Use by a button or the message box the line
    put clipboardData["Text"] into fld "INCOMING"

If you use simply "paste" you get (probably unwanted) styles with your text.
(If you have a lot of files: Preview is scriptable.)
