Description Mark Whitis 2017-01-18 04:41:53 UTC

Table select tool fails to automatically identify rows and columns on a simple table layout with large amounts of data.
http://www.qsl.net/sterling/VA_QSO_Party/2016_VQP/2016_VQP_MetaData.pdf
approx 22 columns
approx 180 rows per page
approx 414 total rows
3 pages

This requires over 500 near pixel accurate mouse clicks to convert.
This site has similar files for each year.
The following file is a bit more difficult as it is missing lines except on the column heads on the first page.  okular finds the rows ok but not the columns.

Hey Mark,

I could reproduce the problems with the table selection tool.
I marked it as confirmed.

Note: I am no maintainer but from the KDE bugsquad
tested on okular 1.3.3
