Problem with "carriage return" inside a cell

[aborruso]

Hi,
first of all thank you for this great tool.

I have a PDF with come "carriage return" inside cells (I'm attaching it).

If I run camelot -f csv -o output.csv lattice input.pdf the cells output does not have any "carriage return", then I have a partially unusable output because in example I have [email protected]@fondazionelavoro.it and not [email protected]\[email protected], and than it's difficult to find a way to split the cell content.

I'm using camelot-py-0.3.1. Is there a parameter to pass to solve this kind of problem?

Thank you

Hey @aborruso, thanks for the report. Currently, each text line is stripped off newlines before assigning it to a cell, which can be undesired behavior in cases such as above. I'm labeling current behavior as a bug since everything should be extracted from a PDF as is. Expect a fix soon!

@aborruso This is fixed on master now. After #229, this will be more configurable.
