Research direction
Start by reproducing the extraction problem with the attached Pdf-Layout-Issue.pdf and inspect how the parser orders text objects when using page-position-order. The issue does not identify a source file, test, or expected ordering, so confirm the desired output and locate the relevant layout-ordering entry point before defining a fix. Done should mean the attached PDF yields the agreed text order.
