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.
