So, for a test PDF I just created in Microsoft Word (Insert/Table, 3 header columns, 3 data rows, then apply formatting to reflect this), it worked pretty decently indeed.

Not sure about the business model or anything else, but from a technical point of view, this sort-of made me smile.

If I can make one person smile today that's an A+ in my book:) Appreciate your testing and feedback!
