Greetings:


Maybe somebody can help me figure out where the architecture changed so much between Leopard and Leopard Snow concerning PDFs. I had this perl script that would handle text extracted from a PDF and parse its contents quite nicely. When I upgraded to Leopard Snow, the results went down the drain. 

The outputs shown below are the first parts of exactly the same PDF file copied in Leopard and then in Leopard Snow. The result is same whether copying directly from the PDF (cmd-A, cmd-C, cmd-V) or using pdftotext:

*** Copied / pdftotext'd in Leopard ***
AFC Corp  AFC FC Corp 
19205 So. Lourel Park Rd. 
Rancho Dominguez, CA 90220 
Phone: 310-604-3200

*** Copied / pdftotext'd in Leopard Snow ***
AFC FC Corp
19205 So. Lourel Park Rd. Rancho Dominguez, CA 90220 Phone: 310-604-3200
PUBLIX's Group Only ** Full Service and Part Time storeonly
AFC Corp
SouthEast12
Premium Tuna Shiping List


The lines missing from the latter in the former (ej.:'SouthEast12') simply appear afterwards in the former.

Any clues at all?  

Any solutions / suggestions?


Thank you!!!!!
