Thx for the tip.

Maybe I can solve one of my open problems this way: reconstruct the text of a book in Yiddish (accented Hebrew), where the accents are added by position. With pdftotext the accents appear at the end of the line.

    Well while learning to read Yiddish is on my to-do list, I never thought about doing it via PDF ;)

    The C sources of pdftohtml are pretty compact calls to something like ghostscript (IIRC)¹ so porting it to Perl in order to have tighter control shouldn't be a problem.

    HTH :)
