pdf file inhibiting this behavior
PDFTOHTML converts text positions on certain PDF documents incorrect. Attached
is a document in which this happens.
The following logic explains this further:
The size of an image of the first page is 1024x1408. The text "Brief article"
which can be seen highlighted should be positioned 19% from the top as seen
here:
<a href="http://imageshack.us/a/img526/6343/textshiftedpdf1.png">http://imageshack.us/a/img526/6343/textshiftedpdf1.png</a>
Poppler outputs this text with the following data when using pdftohtml -xml
<text top="409" left="447" width="80" height="15" font="0">Brief article</text>
The dimensions of this page according to poppler taken from the same xml file:
<page number="1" position="absolute" top="0" left="0" height="1488"
width="1063">
This would give us that the text should be according to poppler be positioned:
409/1488=0.27=27% which is clearly wrong.
No other warning messages or errors were noted when converting this document</pre>
