Testing again on Ubuntu 12.04.3 + LO 4.1.2.3

STEPS:
1) Open Example_file-for_PDF_export.doc
2) File -> Export as PDF
3) The only values under 'General' that are checked are

[See TEST1, TEST2 below]

4) Click 'Export'

TEST1: 
The only values checked are
  - Create PDF form
  - Export bookmarks

This PDF appears to contain the proper hyphens.

TEST2:
The only values checked are
  - Tagged PDF
  - Create PDF form
  - Export bookmarks

This PDF does NOT contain the proper hyphens.

So yes -- the bug appears to be in the PDF tagging code.

I wasn't sure what tagged PDFs included, so I did a little research:
http://www.pdfa.org/2011/10/the-value-of-tagged-pdf/

Tagged PDFs have semantic information, may be reflowed, etc. Tagging is
necessary for 508 compliance and other accessibility guidelines.

I think that consistent, high-fidelity output of accessible PDF documents is
key for any of our users -- business, government, or individual alike. I'd
support adding this to 4.1 MAB.
