Hello everyone,

This post is a bit desperate, for I've tried pretty much everything that I
was capable of.
I'm currently trying to get latex to generate PDFs that my e-reader can
understand. Displaying isn't a problem actually, but selecting text is.

Take Emacs for example, or OpenOffice, or Microsoft word on Windows (which
is the system I usually work with). In every case, the PS or PDF files that
these programs generate use spaces to separate words, and hence I'm able to
select words one by one on my e-reader (PRS 600).

But latex doesn't, and thus I can't select text properly: the only word
boundaries that the e-reader finds are punctuation signs and accents, making
the notes feature basically useless.

IIUC, using the PDF A/1-b standard should solve this problem, since it would
ensure that every word is "tagged". But I have nothing to test this
possibility. I've generated a PDF using the commands suggested in the ps2pdf
doc, put I wasn't successful at generating an actually tagged PDF.

Please, could you direct me to something that would solve my problem?
Thanks!

Andrew.
