Pdfplumber not reading last row of table

[ffreller]

What are you trying to do?

I'm trying to extract tables from official gazettes of Pará, one of Brazil's districts.

What code are you using to do it?

with pdfplumber.open(path1 + 'DOE_2020-02-20.pdf') as pdf: page = pdf.pages[43] tb = page.find_tables() for t in tb: res2.append(page.to_image().draw_rects(t.cells))

res2[0]

PDF file

DOE_2020-02-20.pdf

Expected behavior

I expect it would correctly find all tables in the page and all of its rows.

Actual behavior

No matter what gazette (of Pará) and page I read, the code returns the tables without the last row. I've tried to change the settings, but I've had no success in overcoming this issue.

Environment

• pdfplumber version: 0.5.23
• Python version: Python 3.8.5
• OS: Windows 10

Additional context

I don't if there is a fundamental problem in the way these documents are created. I would appreciate any suggestions on extracting its tables. Thank you

Hi @ffreller Thanks for your interest in the library. Certainly I can reproduce this by using the following table settings

{
    "vertical_strategy": "lines",
    "horizontal_strategy": "lines"
}

I can capture the correct tables by using the following table settings

{
    "vertical_strategy": "lines",
    "horizontal_strategy": "explicit",
    "explicit_horizontal_lines": page.curves + page.edges
}

Does this solve your issue?

[ffreller]

It does! Thank you very much!
