I would suppose the ideal thing would be both something that allows one
to render a PDF document,
and extract all or part of an embedded text layer (if one exists in the
original PDF).

It might.
It would be helpful if more folks read the specs for the PDF external
LiveCode is including with their Business Edition. It's very
specialized, with extensive features for getting and setting
selections far beyond the needs of most projects.
What I'm hearing from most Indy and Community devs is that they merely
want to render a PDF within LiveCode.
Given the PDFium library available for that, and that LiveCode Builder
supports binary APIs such as those in that library, if this is a
lucrative opportunity it would seem worth pursuing for those who want it.
The developer could sell it as proprietary, or even dual-license it
with a GPL version.
Anyone sufficiently convinced of the business opportunity here to take
this on?
