Description
Hi,
I am testing pdf-inspector as a replacement for Docling.
It's really nice and much faster than Docling :-)
But the table conversion has some issues.
I would like to know if there is any way to improve it ? Any command-line parameter ?
I am using a simple python code to convert.
Attached you find a pdf file and the converted md file - take a look at page 26 , item 2.2, of the pdf file.
Docling generates a perfect table, but pdf-inspector does not.
Thanks

Research direction
Reproduce the conversion with the attached Manual BC-5150.pdf and the simple Python code, then compare page 26, item 2.2, with Manual BC-5150.pdf.md and Docling's output. Start by checking whether existing command-line parameters affect table conversion. Done means the reported table is converted correctly or the limitation and required option are clearly established.
