^{Originally posted by **alexreg** March 18, 2021} [This](https://mathscinet.ams.org/msnhtml/serials.pdf) is the PDF I'm working with. It's proving rather troublesome to even get any table cells extracted from it. I've tried different values for `horizontal_strategy` and `vertical_strategy` to no avail.
