Description
The config property HorizontalOffset, that was useful in dealing with format issues (https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser/blob/v2.11.0/doc/CustomConfig.md), is not checked anymore.
It can be set as described in the docs, but it's useless.
The last version checking and using its value was 2.7.0, any later version ignores its settings.

Research direction
Start with doc/CustomConfig.md and compare the configuration handling in the 2.7.0 version with later versions to locate where HorizontalOffset stopped being used. Reproduce the reported format issue with the documented setting; done means the setting affects extraction again as documented and the regression is covered by the project's existing tests.
