Here's a W.A.I. tutorial on correcting tables and headers in Acrobat Pro.

Not tough to do, but does take some time, especially if you have a multi-page table in a PDF.

FYI, Adobe InDesign does a better job with complex tables by at least automatically adding the scope to merged cells, but their tables still need some touch-up work in Acrobat.
