I know of this free software being used to extract data tables in scientific papers to actionable data sheets, pdftableconverter.com
Do you know other ones currently utilized for this purpose?
pdftableconverter.com
The only useful tools I know are :
- http://digitizer.sourceforge.net/
- http://www.esuli.it/software/toxy/
Not for data but for knowledge I use "WisARD" of AIQ.go Enterprises. If I find something, I get the data by copy/paste and add the source in EXCEL.
Aren't there plattforms to share raw data? One is https://www.opensciencedatacloud.org/
Inkscape for 2D and Blender for 3D pictures.
Blender for animations
For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RasemoYzsFA
If you are looking to extract bar charts here is another interesting link :

Datathief is another option and is free. You should copy the graph from pdf file and save as a jpg (for example with "Paint" from Windows). Later, open the image.jpg with Data Theft and extract the data. Is very useful to extract data for effect size calculation for meta-analysis:

In my case 99% of the times the link Paolo originally suggested is not able to recognize tables in the papers I work with.
There are many options available so I would recommend to test yourself which one is the best:
In my experience, all these options are quicker than the usual copy-paste (even using "Text Import Wizard" or "Paste special"). I consider formatting the table in Word the most time-consuming option.
Hope it helps!
Please see this video, it explains

Hi, if i can be of some help here: for mac users, just use the program called Automator (it comes with your mac, in the folder named applications). It's a 2 step process, no configuration necessary, transforms pdf in text.
If you need to create a dataset, instead, extracting also tables, you will need to use ad hoc programs such as Rapidminer which can create datasets from collections of documents (it is free for students).

Origin Software can be used for this . Please see the video !
