Description
I tried to convert some tables in Polish govt doc, containing polish accented characters.
This failed with error: `UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u015a' in position 346: ordinal not in range(128)`
The character in question is `ś`, but there are way more such characters in that file.
If I need something reconfigured to be able to parse such chars, I believe it shouldn't raise an error, but rather suggest change :)
I can share the file if needed :)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the conversion with a PDF table containing Polish characters such as ś; the issue does not name a source file or test. Done means the table can be converted without the reported UnicodeEncodeError, or the application clearly suggests the required configuration.
