[ddj] [School-of-data] 'Tabula helps you liberate data tables trapped inside evil PDFs'

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

There are some people working on hosting their own versions - it's
open source. Attempting to put it in my toolset for Linux Mint, Ubuntu
and Fedora is on my to-do list, but I don't have a release date nailed
down yet.

There are a number of PDF manipulation tools already available in
https://github.com/znmeb/Computational-Journalism-Publishers-Workbench/blob/master/ScrapingTools/README.md

If I can get Tabula to work it will be added to that collection.
