pdftables is needed in order to upload PDF files into DataStore.

@orifito can you give us more context as to why is this really needed? The DataPusher is designed to just read tabular data like CSV, Excel, etc. How does the PDF upload work?

@amercader I'm trying to get CKAN data preview working for PDF files. Apart from installing the PDF view plugin, I thought it was required to upload them into DataStore.
