In case you passed a single column separators string list, and no table area is specified, the separators will be applied to the whole page. When a list of table areas is specified and you need to specify column separators as well, **the length of both lists should be equal**. Each table area will be mapped to each column separators' string using their indices.
-For example, if you have specified two table areas, ``table_area=['12,23,43,54', '20,33,55,67']``, and only want to specify column separators for the first table, you can pass an empty string for the second table in the column separators' list like this, ``columns=['10,120,200,400', '']``.
