I'm curious. Are you expecting Extract API to pull data out of the form fields?

No, I am just telling at Page 1 , For 4th table(text starting as "C IF PRINCIPAL IS AN INDIVIDUAL...") , please check the extracted data for third row in which colSpan is defined as 2 but it should me 3  , leading to loss of data of last cell of that row.
This query is not regarding form fields , just simple rowSpan & colSpan data.
