Error when obtaining array from a PDF

• PHP Version: 8.0
• PDFParser Version: ^2.8

Description:

As you can see, the PDF has a table with rows and columns, but when it is read the order of the same changes, in many cases where it is empty it does not generate a value and therefore when creating arrays so that the values ​​are in order It is not allowed to me, since as you can see it takes the values ​​as desired without following the rows and columns of the table.

Start by running the reported PHP example with ARRIVALS.pdf and inspect the output from $page->getTextArray(). Compare the extracted order and missing values with the table layout shown in the issue. Done means the parser's array output preserves the relevant row and column order, including empty cells, with regression coverage for this PDF.
