thanks for your help
Since calibre's viewer is essentially a ePub viewer, when you view a PDF in calibre it does a conversion to something more akin to ePub. Any conversion of PDFs in calibre is full of known problems. If you want to view a PDF with its tables etc.. intact then uncheck opening the PDF using the internal viewer (Preferences - Behavior) and it will default to whatever PDF viewer you have setup on your computer.
