Pdfplumber misses first column and last row for all tables within a schematic

[PabloABCD]

PdfPlumber does not extract the first column and the last row of every table in document. I have tried to tweak several configuration parameters in table_settings variable, unluckily I haven't been able to achieve any better result (in my case, the rest of the chars in the schematic is considered as a table in case I use "text" instead of "lines").

Any help with this? I am using Python 3.9.8 and the pdf for testing can be found in: schematic.pdf

The source code for extracting first page is:

import pdfplumber
pdf_file = "C:/Users/fariza.CITEF/Desktop/OUIGO/Schematic.pdf"
tables=[]
with pdfplumber.open(pdf_file) as pdf:
    pages = pdf.pages
    tbl = pages[0].extract_tables()
    
    print(f'{tbl}')

Thank you a lot for your help and your impressive library.

Hi @PabloABCD Appreciate your interest in the library. Using the following table settings worked for me

{
    "vertical_strategy": "explicit",
    "horizontal_strategy": "explicit",
    "explicit_vertical_lines": page.curves+page.edges,
    "explicit_horizontal_lines": page.curves+page.edges,
    "intersection_tolerance": 15,
}

['(cid:47)(cid:44)(cid:54)(cid:55)(cid:36)(cid:3)(cid:39)(cid:40)(cid:3)(cid:39)(cid:40)(cid:54)(cid:57)(cid:203)(cid:50)(cid:54)', None, None, None, None, None]
['(cid:49)(cid:158)', 'PK', 'VEL.', '(cid:49)(cid:158)', 'PK', 'VEL.']
['A64', '3+100', '100 Km/h', 'A66', '3+365', '100 Km/h']
['A65', '3+189', '100 Km/h', 'S2MSU2', '5+884', '100 Km/h']
['A67', '3+363', '100 Km/h', 'S4MSU1', '6+052', '100 Km/h']
['', '', '', '', '', '']

['(cid:54)(cid:40)(cid:102)(cid:36)(cid:47)(cid:40)(cid:54)', None, None, None]
['NOMBRE', 'PK', 'NOMBRE', 'PK']
['E3', '3+720', 'EMSUF2', '5+766']
['E4', '3+784', 'EMSUF1', '5+766']
['B004F2', '4+295', 'SMSUM2', '6+185']
['B004F1', '4+295', 'SMSUM1', '6+188']
['', '', '', '']
