PDF documents with embedded tables could be parsed into extended markdown, or intelligently broken into non-tabular format. (See https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/)

Examples:

Large (25pp) PDF generated from XML (outline format, including a multi-page table)
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-G/part-139 (use Print/PDF in sidebar)
Very large (500+ pp) PDF created from a Word document (most of the doc is a table).
https://www.faa.gov/documentlibrary/media/order/order_7360.1.pdf

Thanks for considering this enhancement.
