What's New

Multi-line cell merging (MergeGap)

Tables with wrapped cell content (bank statements, invoices) can now be collapsed into logical rows. Consecutive rows within the specified Y-distance are merged, with text in the same column concatenated.

tbl := pdf.FindTable(spans, &pdf.TableOpts{
    Headers:  []string{"Date", "Description", "Debit", "Credit"},
    MergeGap: 16,  // merge rows within 16pt into one logical row
})

Table boundary detection (MaxRowGap)

Tables now stop collecting rows when the gap between consecutive rows exceeds a threshold, preventing footer/disclaimer text from leaking into table data.

tbl := pdf.FindTable(spans, &pdf.TableOpts{
    Headers:   []string{"Date", "Amount"},
    MaxRowGap: 30,  // stop when gap > 30pt
})

Other improvements

• Extracted sortSpansByX helper (was duplicated 3x across table.go and text.go)
• Added cmd/extract_tables demo for bank statement extraction
• New unit tests covering MergeGap, MaxRowGap, and their combination
