Since :ref:`Stream <stream>` treats the whole page as a table, `for now`_, it's useful to specify table boundaries in cases such as `these <../_static/pdf/table_areas.pdf>`__. You can :ref:`plot the text <geometry_text>` on this page and note the top left and bottom right coordinates of the table.
Table areas that you want Camelot to analyze can be passed as a list of comma-separated strings to :meth:`read_pdf() <camelot.read_pdf>`, using the ``table_areas`` keyword argument.

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_areas=['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', '']``.

Let's get back to the *x* coordinates we got from :ref:`plotting text <geometry_text>` that exists on this `PDF <../_static/pdf/column_separators.pdf>`__, and get the table out!
