Description
**I am trying to extract the table using camelot but the extracted table appear to not contain all the columns.**
I am using this line of code to extract the table
`camelot.read_pdf(pdf_file, flavor="stream", pages="all", column=["88,276,357,490"])`
It is extracting 4 columns instead of 5 columns and merging 2nd and 3rd column together.
Is there any way to get better result for this type of pdf?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through camelot.read_pdf with the linked sample PDF and the shown stream settings. Compare the extracted table with the source PDF and determine how the five columns should be separated; done means the sample no longer merges the second and third columns.
