A String and a position on the page.
Of course, it happens very regularly that words in a PDF are split in
different strings. In other words that the word "efficinet" is inside
the PDF as (ef)(ficient) with some extra values between the brackets to
adapt the kerning so that both 'f' glyphs are closer to each other.
So you also should look at the space between two consecutive Strings to
find out if they aren't part of the same word.
