How to pass parameters when removing duplicate elements when extracting the table

[situchen]

page.extract_tables() How to pass parameters can directly call dedupe_chars() method？

Hi @situchen Could you please elaborate on what you are trying to achieve with an example?

@situchen I see that you left a comment on one of the dedupe related commits at b132d45#commitcomment-48354718. Does that resolve your query?

Hi @situchen. I agree with @samkit-jain — it is difficult to answer this question confidently without having more details. But I think you may be looking for this:

original_page = my_pdf.pages[0]
deduped_page = original_page.dedupe_chars()
tables = deduped_page.extract_tables()
