I used a tool called Monarch. This took printed (text saved to a file) reports from old mainframe type systems and turned them back into tables for import into a database. You had to create a template over the report to tell it which bits where page headings and table headings and actual tabular data. 20 years ago we use it to put purchase orders from a 1980's minicomputer onto a web portal.
