I use MS Word as an intermediary step.
- Select table text in PDF
- Copy to clipboard
- Paste into Word
- In each row, insert a Tab between columns
- Select the text in Word
- From the ribbon, choose Insert, Table, Convert Text to Table (Tab should be set as the column separator, and Paragraph marks as the row separator automaticlly, if the formtting is correct; also, the correct number of columns should be pre-set)
- Proofread results
- Tweak as needed (apply bold to column headers, for example)
- Select table
- Copy to Clipboard
- Paste into snippet in Realm Works.
It is not perfect, but it beats copying cell-by-cell.
Ideally, we should be able to do this in Realm Works directly, but trying to insert a Tab moves out of the snippet, so it doesn't work.
