Research direction

Review the existing PDF-to-JSON and text extraction output to find where rows and coordinates are represented. Determine how words should be divided by spaces and what coordinate data is available, then define an output that lets callers identify individual words and draw rectangles. No file or test is named, so locate the relevant extraction entry point and add coverage for the requested representation.
