Comment 9 for bug 1286771

Ok, so I think you are implying the problem is that the djvu text extraction is throwing away the information. Yet the information is there prior to the extraction, right? Undifferentiated text could not be used to search and hilite a rectangle in the djvu-rendered glyphs.

So maybe what I'm suggesting translates to an enhancement to the djvu text extraction. Remember I'm only seeing the system from the outside (so far) so I'm having to guess at how functionality is partitioned. That makes it a bit tricky to communicate the idea. Can you confirm that the information is there in the overall system somewhere and that some level of implementation is throwing away the relation to the glyph locations when the text is extracted?
