A really annoying bug:
If and only if the main font in the PDF is sans serif (Helvetica or maybe Ariel - no embedded fonts to tell me which), when converting to anything, every case of double LL's is turned into a single L followed by a space.

Examples: collected -> col ected
call me -> cal me
intellectually -> intel ectual y
still there -> stil there

Note that if there is a space following the LL, a second space is not added.
While if the LL is in the middle of a word, a space is added.
Does anyone have any idea how much fun this is to repair, word by word???
