The converter "decoding" the PDF isn't really to blame. The root cause is in the app that built the PDF. The breaks frequently occur when the original document has some non-default letter spacing (kerning) in a word. The PDF generator will often break the work in two so that it can reposition the character following the custom kerning. The poor app trying to make sense of the PDF encounters part of the word in one data block and the rest in another. Its difficult for it to recognize that the two need to be reassembled without a space or hard return.
