But not all the words are intact. Here's an example of pdftotext output
from the PDF you gave me:
Co

Most of the words are intact, but a lot of them wrap onto another line,
so htdig treats the two parts as separate words. Yes, it's a lot better
than what you'd get with pdftotext 0.80, with my rawdump patch, but is it
as good as what you'd get from htdig's parsing of acroread's PostScript
output?
