Interesting.
May you expand a bit on how exactly you do it?

In particular, how does Org mode enter the picture? I imagine that you
need to align the text layout in the Org file to fit the underlying PDF,
but I am not sure if Org is the most suitable program to achieve such
alignment. Something like M-x artist-mode might probably be more flexible.
