2021-08-17pdf: Stretch words to fit in their boxes, for more perfect embeddingNick White
- Words are stretched to fit their boxes, which means the accuracy is now very high indeed. This was done by modifying gofpdf to add the SetCellStretchToFit function, which will hopefully be upstreamed in due course. - Copy pasting from a PDF works well with lines rarely if ever being erroneously broken by the PDF reader. There was quite a bit of trial-and-error to improve this, and the stretched text plus a space being added after the word in CellFormat was the best (plus preserves accuracy of word and character locations).

2021-08-09pdf: significantly improve character coordinatesNick White
A few good changes to make word coordinate lookups significantly more accurate: - Set font size dynamically based on the line height (previously it was fixed as size 10) - Correct height and width of word boxes (previously they were way too large, which probably didn't make a difference in the general case, but now they're correct) - Set word box margin to zero Also change PDF size to A5 paper, as that's closer to an average book page size.

2019-10-31PDF: lay out every word with coordinates separatelyNick White
I presumed this would mean that multiple words next to each other couldn't be reliably searched for, but this seems not to be the case.
