Scanned PDF tables with unreadable cells flagged

OCR the tables in a scanned PDF and keep every column in place. Blank cells stay null, and cells with marks the OCR could not read are listed separately, so a smudge is never passed off as an empty value. Each table comes back as rows, Markdown and CSV. This example reads a declassified 1960s archive memo. No API key.
