TextPosition.getHeight() returns erroneous value for some PDFs
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PDFBOX-1001
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1001
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.4.0
         Environment: Solaris, WinXP
            Reporter: Emil Wacker


For a PDF that worked fine under 1.2.1 the height value returned is negative 
and the wrong value (i.e. using Math.abs()  won't fix it).  Other PDFs work 
fine.
PDF Debug shows "Creator:Crystal Reports"  and "Producer:PDF-XChange 
(XCPRO30.DLL v3.30.0064) (Windows 2k)"
And when examining the 'Stream' items, the text is not what displays.

Any suggestions on what to look for so that I can do differential analysis 
against other PDFs to see what they do/not have in common with this one?
(It's client data so I can't post the PDF. )

It's stopping us from moving off 1.2.1  (and later versions fix another issue 
we have of seeing question marks instead of the actual characters).
