However, if I have a single word at the end of a line that comes after a dot or a comma, and tap it, only in this case does the reader highlight the one word, and it now finds it in the dictionary as well.

I suspect I should do something with the PDF, but I don't know what it could be. Could anyone help..? Thanks!
I dunno.

Could you try a2ps+ps2pdf? openoffice outputs pdf too.
