Regarding text selection we are simply converting information that is 
available in PDF documents. Adobe implemented robust text selection 
in Acrobat Reader, however the same does not apply to their SVG 
viewer. The ideal solution would be to make ASV as robust as the 
Acrobat Reader is for PDF files. Unfortunately, with Adobe dropping 
support for ASV & SVG, it seems that this will never happen. On our 
side, we will try to tweak the SVG output to better match the 
expected behavior in the current version of ASV.

Regarding the missing random characters, this is only a limitation in 
the demo version of PDF2SVG and it does not occur in the production 
version (http://www.pdftron.com/pdf2svg/faq.html#demo1). If you would 
like you can send your test files to 'support at pdftron.com' and we 
will gladly convert the files to SVG using the production version.

Likewise, i'd like to know if there is anything that can be done in 
order to improve text detection because when i select the same phrase 
from within Adobe Reader, i get correct word boundaries, spaces and 
so on, whereas PDF2SVG, albeit giving a good graphic representation, 
seems to loose the textual information by combining letters randomly.

I am currently evaluating this product and i find it extremely good 
otherwise, so i really hope you can fix this problem before taking 
any decision.
