Heh, I don't feel badgered, Kovid! Certainly not by you. All you do around here? No, not badgered at all.

I didn't think to try for a specific answer on the paragraphs, but he didn't say anything about the text formatting being funny (nor has anyone else), so I'll go out on a limb and guess that it probably handles paragraphs just fine. Based on what I saw in my own experiences with the old Palm app I mentioned, I'd say that this is a reasonable guess, as that handled paragraphs fine.

It occurs to me that things like the number of line breaks and indentions, are probably reliable "tells" on this when you're talking about PDFs -- I mean the PDF is pretty likely to be properly formatted to begin with, right?

I don't know about headers and footers (don't know if their sample files even had them or not ), but those ought to be simple enough to detect and deal with -- they could strip them out at the very least, I should think.

Sorry that I'm more in the realm of speculation on these points.
