As far as I can see from the code, NVDA doesn't ignore empty table cells. Perhaps they aren't being tagged correctly in the PDF. Please provide a test case so we can investigate further.

Hi,
We already attached test case in the original ticket. please review it and let us know if anything required.

Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeesh.

When I open the attached document, (remove the .zip extension), I am not able to locate an empty cell in columns 4 or 5. The only blank areas are between rows 2, 3, and 4 in column 4, 5, and 6.
As we are no longer able to contact the original poster for more clarification, I am closing this as worksforme

The attachment has no values in the "Quantity", "unit price", or "extended price" columns (4, 5, 6) for rows 2, 3, and 4. When pressing down arrow in NVDA to move through the table, this blank area is skipped. When using ctrl+alt+right arrow to move through the row, from the "Service Description" column nvda reads "edge of table".

I think this is where the confusion comes from with the initial issue description. The table in this document is malformed.

The impact of this is mitigated (at least in recent releases of NVDA) since the row number is reported when it changes. I don't propose this issue is reopened, however I am happy to hear other's opinions.
