To extract the tables from the file you provided, you have to set parameter line_scale=80.

Hi @anakin87 , I, too, faced a similar issue and your solution helped. Thanks. However, it'd be great if you helped me understand the behavior of _linescale parameter. As I noticed, the thickness of border lines of different tables in source PDF is the same. Then why is it so that camelot is able to identify certain tables and not able to identify other ones (especially those with fewer than 4 rows) ?? Thanks in advance. :)
