Easy-peazy
The conversion program is not at fault.

That comes from an OCR scan, page alignment variations (twist, shearing error)

It might be possible to have a pre-OCR process to 'square up the text' so that left margin remains true.

It might be nice if the OCR had a margin,indent value 'rounding' tables: eg 0 to 5px use 0, >5 to 10px use 5px
