Neither of the streamresources not formresources are null, yet they don't contain the font information needed.
retval = (PDFont)formResources.getFonts().get( fontName ); is still null causing the exception. Perhaps this should be in a try catch block? If I force it to bypass the entire if, as if formResources were null, it seems to work ok.
