I've rework the new line detection code to take a few more units of measure into consideration before creating a new line of text. This seems to fix the document in question with regards to text extraction. Tripple clicking on a line now selects all the text that visually represents a line of text.

The PDF in question contains a landscape page view. For some strange reason the text is layed out using a a portrait layout. As a result the coordinates move along the y-plane instead of the usual x-plane which explains why our page extraction algorithm breaks down. I've added a fix which looks for the negative y shear value in the Tm matrix which is responsible for the rotation.
