[Question] Is it possible to extract tables as images or extract tables without lines and columns character separators #377

95% of the time it extracts tables perfectly but I noticed in a particular case where a table is split into two pages the results are not great in markdown, see the screenshot attached. The screenshot shows the page where the markdown is not extracted very well. The continuous of this table in the next page is perfect.

I am OK with finding alternative methods for the tables only, even if I get them as images I could throw them into a multimodal model and let it extract the data; Another alternative would be instead of trying to format the extracted tables in the markdown just use a CSV format;

I am open to suggestions. Thank you for this great library.
