Hi @ertanuj96, and thanks for your interest in this library. In this PDF, the table in question does not have any explicit vertical lines separating the columns. I would recommend:

• Reading the documentation re. table-extraction settings, if you have not already done so. Two settings you might particularly want to examine are "vertical_strategy": "text" and "explicit_vertical_lines": [...].

• Examining this discussion / response for an approach to identifying a table's missing left- and right-side edges: PDF Plumber not extracting tables correctly (text is parsed line by line) #621 (comment)

• Using page.to_image().debug_tablefinder(...) to examine the effect of various table-extraction settings.

Let us know what progress you make, and whether you still have further questions after that.
