Description
Hey, I'll keep it simple and visual, I'm working on a PDF parsing project, and I need to extract clean tables
What I am noticing is that:
- Camelot has a hard time with merged cells
- if the header spans multiple lines, it's likely that Camelot will put in multiple rows
Do you guys have some ideas on how to fix those?
idk if CSV files can handle merged cells, but I'm sure we can use a rule of thumb to fix the multiple-line header problem
