What do these things return exactly? They seemed to follow
x/y position in some documents anyway:
[ this is my code but the context makes clear my quesiton- the
values from PdfLiteral.getXXX() are what exactly ]
public void dig(PdfLiteral d, PrintStream os)
{oute(os,"lit: "+d.getPosition()+" "+d.getPosLength()+" "+d.toString()); }
The reader needs to render the text so it needs to determine position etc.
If the text exists as text in the source document you should be able
to manipulate it ( with your own reflow algorithm...)
