Description

Hello,

Thank you for your work!
I am trying Excalibur on [this](https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/S32K3xxDS.pdf) document in particular at page 11-13. The issue is that there are a lot of cells spanning multiple columns. I get that some borders are not recognized correctly.
I also have tried setting "Detect Small lines" to 150 but nothing changes.
Do you have any suggestions on the setup?
Thank you!

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Excalibur using the linked S32K3xxDS.pdf, focusing on pages 11–13 and tables with cells spanning multiple columns. Compare extraction with different “Detect Small lines” values and trace the table-recognition entry point. Done means merged cells and their borders are recognized correctly, or the required configuration is documented.
