CParserError: Error tokenizing data. C error: Expected 2 fields in line 733, saw 3

I am trying to extract the tables from a number of pdf documents:

In:

from tabula import read_pdf_table
pdf_table = read_pdf_table("../file.pdf", pages="all")

Out:

I tried to use sep parameter as \t. Nevertheless, it did not worked. What can I do?
