Yes, of course .. but that would be a new manual system to accommodate for Scribus documents only. We *automatically* parse pdf, docs, and xhtml for indexing and text-to-speech services. The texttopdf lib works like a dream with adobe generated pdfs, therefore it works for our customers, which include government departments where accessibility is a big issue. However, it does not work with our own Scribus documents and we are looking for a general solution. We welcome the fact that this has been registered as a bug. Although absolute positioning is useful for print and screen rendering, it is still text, and the final output should eventually be machine readable, if only for accessibility reasons. However, I can accept that the Scribus team have other things on their plate right now and I appreciate the suggested work-arounds.
