Is the best way to provide test files for the problems we have found with the 
"convertToXML" method is to log them in the SourceForge bug tracker?

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=115255&group_id=15255&func=browse

We added one issue related to convertToXML not generating valid XML when a PDF 
tag includes a space.  The space character would ideally be replaced with a "-" 
character to be compatible with the Adobe Acrobat Pro Save As XML feature.

Yes, that would be nice.

We prefer small files that demonstrate a specific issue, not the huge files 
"that don't work".

Let me give you an example of a known issue.
When some text is split, then you can have this on the page:

Suppose that this is a very long sen-
tence that is hyphenated.

When iText parses this, you'll have "sen- tence", but if the PDF is tagged 
correctly, there will be a tag with the "actual text" that tells screen readers 
that "sen- tence" is actually "sentence".

If we have small PDF files demonstrating such issues, then we can work towards 
a solution. If we have a solution, it would be nice if users test it on larger 
files and inform us about the results (maybe the small sample didn't cover the 
whole issue).
