Awesome, I didn't anticipate such a handy program including a clean and accessible GUI being managed by bash.

With the .pdf files accessible to me, I noticed the widths of columns in the GUI vary much more than in the documentation. Though it doesn't inhibit usage (e.g., accessing the entries in question via copy-paste and AWK), is the presentation something one may adjust locally?

PDFMtEd_columns01

The subsequent copy-paste into editors like vim don't show this, the data are presented just as anticipated:

PDFMtEd_columns02

The observations refer to Linux Debian 12/bookworm (branch testing) and a pristine installation of PDFMtEd by today after checking the presence of libimage-exiftool-perl (12.40+dfsg-1), qpdf (10.6.3-1), and yad (0.40.0-1+b1) as provided by the Debian's repositories. The renamed .pdf file in question is attached below as .zip

That's actually a good idea. I'll see if I can fix that (make all columns the same width or the width of the largest column).
