Thanks for the pointer. Seems like the char offset method isn't too reliable (something that's 150 chars inside the text fiel from PDFBox is 200 chars in according to the highlighter in reader. But - with word based offset (and a lot of guesswork as to what acrobat reader thinks is a word boundary) then this looks like it might actually fly :) -- Chris Searle [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
