Research paper tables to CSV

Pull the result tables out of a research paper and get them as rows and columns you can put straight into a spreadsheet. Point it at an arXiv or journal PDF and every captioned table comes back with its header, its rows, and - the part most tools get wrong - its empty cells kept as null, so a blank in one column never shifts the numbers in the next one. Markdown and CSV come with every table.
