Well it works for me. I haven't read the PDF spec in great detail lately but I don't think that it has changed much in the last 7 years, at least not for standard content; forms, multimedia etc. not withstanding. For the most part PDF is meant to be a one-way street from content to layout. I tend to assume that reading a PDF has a high chance of giving a false negative - not finding a token you are looking for does not mean it is not there. In some PDF's the text is put in a letter or word at a time, meaning that the display order may not be apparent before it is rendered.
