However, it does not process scanned documents or inverted tables.

You can convert one table or several at once to CSV, TSV JSON files that can be imported into Google Sheets for free, Libre Office Calc, Excel or any other program.
Cometdocs
Cometdocs works quickly and efficiently, but its special advantage is that it performs Optical Character Recognition (OCR), therefore it can convert scanned PDF files. However, it is more likely to verify the converted document with the original one to make sure everything is converted correctly.
