Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported table-to-text conversion with a PDF containing empty cells and compare the resulting array with the source table shown in the screenshots. Trace the existing table extraction entry point and identify the behavior that omits empty cells; done means the conversion preserves those empty positions without disrupting populated cells.
