OK, here's a file that demonstrates the issue. I'm attaching the original as well as the version highlighted using PDFBox and the one I highlighted manually in Acrobat, for comparison purposes.
The details of the highlight added in PDFBox are: Rect:[104.73436,751.22327,147.8024,757.2535] Quads:[104.73436,755.2535,147.8024,755.2535,104.73436,749.22327,147.8024,749.22327] I hope this is sufficient... If not, please let me know.
