PDF documents have tables. Documents are things meant for a human, it's not raw data, for computers to understand it you need machine learning. Applications are not based off documents but rather the raw data (which the machine natively understands). The transition of web from documents to a dumb platform for application software delivery is why the web is no longer the web. It is just application delivery infrastructure now. Each application lives in a walled garden and is no longer a "web" at all.
