Description

I tried to extract tables from this [PDF](https://github.com/camelot-dev/camelot/files/3950873/191204A61SO2.pdf) with the following code:
`tables=camelot.read_pdf('mydoc.pdf', flavor='lattice' , line_scale=80, pages='1-end')`

**Error**
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/src/app/swagger_server/services/extract_tables_from_pdf.py", line 108, in extract_tables_from_path
tables = camelot.read_pdf(filename, pages=pages_string, **params_set)

IndexError: list index out of range

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the linked PDF and the shown camelot.read_pdf call. Inspect camelot/parsers/lattice.py around _generate_table and camelot/core.py around set_border, then verify that parsing this document no longer raises IndexError and produces the expected table result.
