> Hi,

> I have a few questions.  I understand I could extract tabular data from a PDF if it is tagged.  I have a PDF document which originated from Excell and was produced using ghost script.   I find no evidence that the document is tagged.  However, when I do select all in the pdf viewer on my Mac and paste it in a word processor it puts the tabular data in a table separating rows and columns correctly.  I am keen to understand how this might be possible.  The PDF version for the document is 1.4.

> Another question I have is.  I am trying to run RUPS on my mac.  It starts but with a blank GUI.  Does anyone have any ideas.
