Maybe by inserting "protected" space like NO-BREAK SPACE at U+00A0,  
ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER at U+200C... Any representation of horizontal  
space or a "real SPACE character" in TeX is turned into some variable  
horizontal span in the PDF output file. You could create some mapping  
from any horizontal space to a SPACE character?

Does this person have no problem with PDF files coming from pdfTeX,  
Ghostscript (simpdftex), dvipdfm family?
