Find PDF Dimensions with Camelot

I am using Camelot to read complete PDFs and extract about 112 attributes from each one.

I use table areas to extract the attributes

 test_variable = camelot.read_pdf(filename, flavor='stream', 
                 table_areas=['38, 340 ,50, 328'])

The issue is the table area is not constant for the same attribute across all documents. Sometimes I would find the same attribute a few pixels down in x or y-coordinates i another document.

 test_variable = camelot.read_pdf(filename, flavor='stream', 
                 table_areas=['38,350,50,338'])

Is there a way to get the exact attribute from the same area regardless of extraction of any document?

Camelot uses opencv's coordinate system, and the dimensions can be obtained using opencv's .shape

See source code for camelot image processing here and opencv's documentation here
