Need to extract tabular data from PDF

I am trying to parse a local (to Roanoke) police report using a PDF parser. I've used PDFtoText but it runs everything together and drops half of the text. I tried PDFParser, but that won't even compile.

An example of the file I'm trying to parse would be like what you would find here: http://www.roanokecountyva.gov/Archive.aspx?AMID=56&Type=Recent

Ideally, it would be nice to get the data out of the file in XML, or some format like that, but even if it were only able to accurately read each line into a text file that would suffice.

Thanks,

Jonathan Eagle
