The NLP sentence segmenter was really a helpful idea.
Thanks a lot John & Frank.

Hi Hesham,
There is no newline character in a PDF. Only printable characters are
saved, each with its X and Y coordinates.
If you sort the TextPositions by Y and X, you can detect 'newlines' by
finding an increase in Y and a decrease in X. However, this isn't
foolproof, since things like subscript
