      Description

      This support request came in though the forums. The PDF in question has a strange coordinate space for both glyph space and glyph space to user space. As a result the resultant glyphs bounds are not in the correct coordinate space and our text sorting feature breaks each letter into it's own word breaking text search and selection in general.

        Very similar circumstances to PDF-854 where the text is written along the y axes instead of the x which is what our text extraction code and text selection code assumes.

        Made adjustment calculations for the -y shear.
