Because PDFs might not have the data in a structured form; how would you get the structured data out of an image in the PDF?

Sir, some of our cars breaks down every now and then, so we push them, because it happens every so often and we want to avoid it, we have implemented a policy of pushing all cars instead of driving them at all times. This removes the problem of pushing cars.
