Tabula is a helpful tool for extracting tables from PDFs, although its more for large tables of data, often spanning many pages, rather than the odd copy-and-paste.

As for your specific example, you can download tables from EDGAR in other formats, like HTML and iXBRL. The HTML table will usually paste into Excel well.
