Thanks for providing this sample document. This one can actually be processed correctly if you use Xpdf, instead of Spotlight's importer, to process PDF documents. To do so, press the command and option keys while launching FoxTrot, and enable "manage third-party metadata importers". Then enable "prefer Xpdf for PDF documents" (and do NOT enable the stream order mode). You will then need to rebuild your indices.

This will work for documents created with a software that handles hyphenation correctly; PDFs created from TextEdit, for example, will still generate two separate words. PDFs created from Pages won't.
