completely different output for table data (2.7.0 vs 2.8.0)

• PHP Version: 7.4 / 8.2 (same output)
• PDFParser Version: 2.7.0 vs 2.8.0

Description:

I'm using this library for more than a year now and until version 2.8.0 i didn't have a single issue with it. after updating to 2.8.0 i'm getting a completely different output for the same pdf file. unfortunately, this output can't be parsed in order to extract the data i'm interested in.

PDF input

Expected output & actual output

2.7.0 (this is ok and can easily be parsed)

2.8.0 (this can't be parsed)

Code

file_put_contents('./test2.dat', (new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser())->parseFile('./invoice.pdf')->getText());

Start with the Parser parseFile(...)->getText() call shown in the issue and reproduce it with invoice.pdf using PDFParser 2.7.0 and 2.8.0 on the reported PHP versions. Compare the table output and trace the version difference; done means the regression is isolated and a test or confirmed fix covers the affected output.
