Row and Cell Table Editing mode

Some tables contain table rows that span more than one physical row, or cells that span more than one column.

For example, in the document displayed below. The first cell in each table row spans three physical rows. And the first row contains cells that span 2 rows.

It can be seen in the preview area that the data will not be exported correctly and that the row and cell definition needs to be changed.
To toggle the Row and Cell Editing mode, select the Row and Cell Editing Mode command in the Edit Menu.

When this mode is on, the table layout will change (as shown below):

Once in this mode, you can use the advanced table editing features of PDF2XL to merge and split rows, change the row area, and even merge groups of cells or split it back to its original parts.
