How to convert PDF files to Spreadsheets with Ubuntu

How to convert PDF files to Spreadsheets with Ubuntu

I have been trying the whole day to convert several pdf files which
contains trafic flow for Sao Paulo to spreadsheets like MS Office Excel,
or Libre Office Calc in Ubuntu.
When i open the pdf file with Libre Office Calc it opens Libre Office
Draw, and i cant get the spreadsheet.
The most promising method that i found was here with pdftotext. It works
fine and i can get the tables in Libre Office Calc but adjusting manually
the columns.
My problem is that i have so many pdf files that it would take me a lot of
time. So, does anyone know a better method?
Thank you so much
