PDF table extractor for AI agents

Finds tables in a PDF and returns them as structured data.

utilities.pdf_table_extractor

What it does

Finds tables in a PDF and returns them as structured data. It is one of the Documents and PDF tools in the Ahura Utilities catalogue: a ready-made MCP tool that an agent calls with a typed input and gets a structured result back, with no library to install and no sandbox to start.

How agents use it

Agents use pdf table extractor to pull balance sheets and price matrices out of PDFs. Because it is a plain tool call, it slots into a single agent turn or a step in an Ahura Workflow, and large inputs and outputs are passed by reference using a store:// address from Ahura Store.
