Hi, the solution i've seen is to use: 
$doc->getPageContent($pagenum);

[download]
instead of: 
$doc->getPageText($pagenum);

[download]

But even if the solution sounds simple. There is work for you to do.

You will have to parse the return value of getPageContent.

Here is an Possible Example of PageContent: 

9.9213 0 Td
Content Tj

[download]

The 2 Numbers before the Td tell you the Position of the Content.

UPDATE: This gives you a HashRef of your Page: 
$doc->getPageContentTree($pagenum)
