thanks for the feedback/suggestion. I'm not sure we're quite talking about the same thing though. The simple text which is extracted from the PDF is already squashed together inside an XML/HTML tag. What this means (to me) is that by the time I get to the parsed first line, it is not possible, (via CSS or whatever), to identify the individual words anymore (except when a human reads the line). This is the text/line I'm interested in:

This is the output of a grep of the (-d) files to demonstrate what I mean, where you can see that the rest of the text is parsed correctly:

PDF is a terrible source as it is a paste-up format, where the commands can be anywhere on the page
