For extracting to tables I've been using http://tabula.technology/ for a couple of years. It seems to do a pretty good job even with some fairly complex tables and I've not had any problems with it.

Yes, tabula is the other table extraction tool. I used both and prefer pdfplumber because it is really robust and works well with Jupyter Lab.

you can also use okular for visually select a table from a pdf and paste it in sone excel kinda software and okulars table select tool is not too bad
