Hi @sunday-will Appreciate your interest in the library. To extract the tables from the shared PDF, you should use the following table settings

with pdfplumber.open("xxxx.pdf") as pdf:
    page = pdf.pages[0]
    ts = {
        "vertical_strategy": "explicit",
        "horizontal_strategy": "explicit",
        "explicit_vertical_lines": p.curves+p.edges,
        "explicit_horizontal_lines": p.curves + p.edges,
    }
    tables = page.extract_tables(table_settings=ts)
    print(tables)

Output:
