-            Default: None.
         as_text (bool, optional): Whether to extract the text from each element instead
             of the PDFElement itself. Default: False.
         strip_text (bool, optional): Whether to strip the text for each element of the
                 table (Only relevant if as_text is True). Default: True.
         allow_gaps (bool, optional): Whether to allow empty spaces in the table.

         tolerance (int, optional): For elements to be counted as in the same row or
