Automation doesn’t need to be end to end. Consider a case if you need to do an aggregation with pdfs, simple script to read and pull the data points is pretty trivial. You will still need to type the results by hand in excel (for example), but that « automation » just reduced the effort it’d take otherwise.

Huh?

    pdftotext
    massage with grep, tr, sed, awk, sort, uniq, etc
    paste into Calc or Excel (or some SQL first)
