> Using Tagged PDF for Accessibility and Reuse in PDF 2.0

This sounds amazing! Some years ago I was involved with a project for a company where we tried to extract some data from some PDF files they had. But neither OCR nor my attempts at reconstructing order of text in the documents panned out in the end, and it all ended in tears :(
Perhaps one day in the future dealing with extracting data from PDFs will be less of a mess.
