Hi @moreproblems, and thanks for your interest in this library. Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble understanding the query here. Could you share the PDF itself and code that demonstrates your situation?

Closing this for now, as it's not clear there's a bug or practical feature request here, but we can continue the conversation.
