it cannot extract plain text on a page outside of a form field. This is a difficult feature to implement, but it is within the scope of this library and may be added to pdf-lib in the future. See #93, #137, #177, #329, and #380.

pdf.js can extract text with coordinates. Maybe we can just learn from its implementation?
