Allow me to quote my message: mkl wrote > The trouble starts with lines being a concept not necessarily present in > PDFs All of what you perceive as a line might be represented as a single string with start position in the PDF, as a sequence of positioned strings coming one after the other in the right order, or as several positioned strings with other strings inbetween in a seemingly random order. Thus, your task involves foremost recognizing which of the positioned strings form a line (this is already present in existing strategies, it may be improved, though), repositioning everything that according to its position comes later, and handling page breaks. Later, you will have to try and recognize footer and header lines, handle multiple columns and graphics inbetween, possibly with irregular outlines along which the "lines" are arranged, and consider writings in different directions. And more...
