You could try the doc2html parser. I think that the latest version,
available from the Ht://Dig web site, will not split words this way, but
I have not tested it thoroughly.
If doc2html does not parse your .PDF files properly, then email an
example to me personally, and I'll make sure that the next version of
doc2html works correctly.
