So far I have been able to get back to the original doc (regardless of format) every time.
I'm not sure, but aren't there basically two ways a PDF can be encoded. It's either stored as individual characters/text, or else each page is simply stored as an image. I would guess that dictionary support works on the former, but not the later. If the pages are just a series of images the DR won't be able to recognize individual words.
