Or, if linebreaks are not identifiable, just making the program try every possible way of breaking the highlighted text up into different segments.

I certainly mean to be working on it, but as you see, I haven't done much recently.
I'm hoping to get the
pdfloc method for identifying highlighed text working, since this should solve the problems you've been having. But I haven't had a free weekend to sit down and work it out. If you check out that bug report, you'll see a link to a small program to spit out the pdfloc information. You're welcome to give that a go and see if you can find a pattern.
If we can't figure out this new method, something like what you suggest is a good idea that should fix many of the problems.
Thanks for the kind words and suggestions!
