Copying Pages which include Tables

[tomhands1]

What were you trying to do?

Trying to copy pages from an existing PDF Document into a new document

How did you attempt to do it?

const fullPDFDoc = await PDFDocument.load(fileBuffer);
        const pageNumbers: number[] = Array((endPage - startPage) - 1).fill(startPage - 1).map((startPage, pageIndex) => pageIndex + startPage);
        const newPDFDoc = await PDFDocument.create();
        const pages = await newPDFDoc.copyPages(fullPDFDoc, pageNumbers)
        pages.forEach(page => newPDFDoc.addPage(page));
        const bytes = await newPDFDoc.save();

What actually happened?

This works for buffers of PDF's where the pages that I am copying include text only, but does not appear to work if the pages being copied include tables which is the primary need that I have here.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the tables to be copied over to the newly created document like what happens with PDF document without tables

How can we reproduce the issue?

const fullPDFDoc = await PDFDocument.load(fileBuffer);
        const pageNumbers: number[] = Array((endPage - startPage) - 1).fill(startPage - 1).map((startPage, pageIndex) => pageIndex + startPage);
        const newPDFDoc = await PDFDocument.create();
        const pages = await newPDFDoc.copyPages(fullPDFDoc, pageNumbers)
        pages.forEach(page => newPDFDoc.addPage(page));
        const bytes = await newPDFDoc.save();
