Looking at our code, I realized that it still attempts to combine hyphenated words. It just fails, because PDFKit seems to insert spaces between the lines, rather than newlines, so we did not see the hyphens at the end of the lines. I have replaced this by looking for lines in the layed out text, rather than just the strings, with hyphens at the end, and that seems to be working well. Christiaan
