Hi

I use pdf-reader to extract the text from pdf-documents, and it works great, except for one problem. In one of the text files there is one line of text that gets messed up. A line is split in two right in the middle of a word, and then the parts are displayed on separate lines in reverse order.
Example of what I mean:

**Text in PDF**

This is the first line
This is the second line
This is the third line

**What page.text yields**

This is the first line
econd line
This is the s
This is the third line

I have tested 4 PDF so far, and it only happens with one of them. I tried an online converter and it did not occur there. If you wanna look into it I could send you the PDF where it happens.
