Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Semi-automate the capturing of daily data from the GDOH rather than manual transcription

@SimonRosen173 has offered to work on this

Describe the solution you'd like

Program that given the PDF produces text results -- ideally two lines -- headings in one line, data in the next, values comma separated.

I have attached a sample PDF

Describe alternatives you've considered

We currently manually transcribe.

@SimonRosen173 The script has been working very well to now but they've changed the format and it's now breaking. If you have a moment please could you check. I'll attach two examples below

Many thanks
