ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero - table_regions about camelot

[cefetra-valstar]

Solution: exchange 217 and 403 with each other.
Reason: You get that error because your y1 is smaller than y2.
Hint: in [x1,y1,x2,y2] the following must hold: x1 is smaller than x2 and y1 is bigger than y2.
From the documentation: x1,y1,x2,y2 where (x1, y1) -> top-left and (x2, y2) -> bottom-right in PDF coordinate space. In PDF coordinate space, the bottom-left corner of the page is the origin, with coordinates (0, 0).

@shivohmgupta Can you please post the PDF that raised this issue?

I had the same issue. In my case, the coordinates tool defined the origin as the top left rather than the bottom left corner of the PDF. So, the solution was to "reverse" the y-coordinates by taking the height of the page and subtracting the y-coordinates.

Would there be a way to detect this sort of error and report it to the user? Even a hint phrase or a reminder that PDF coordinates are defined differently would be useful when debugging. (I ran into this issue and went through 3 Stack Overflow posts and 2 issues before landing here, and the solution worked)
