I am not sure whether the parser or the PDF is wrong, but the fact that it
renders fine in Acrobat and in 1.7.x indicates that the former is true.

Ha, I wish! Unfortunately Acrobat is able to parse all manner of corrupt Type 1
font files. In this case, as Tilman observed, BlueShift is supposed to be an
integer, yet in this file it is a float.
However, if Acrobat can read it then we want PDFBox to be able to read it, so
I've modified the Type 1 parser so that it will always parse integers as floats
and then truncate them to ints - that way we avoid any future similar issues.
I've added this to the trunk in [r1602311.|http://svn.apache.org/r1602311.].

> When rendering the attached PDF, parsing of a font fails with a
> NumberFormatException. Many NullPointerExceptions and "missing fonts" are
> being reported then. The PDF rendered fine in our modified 1.7.x where fonts
> were read using AWT. I did not try with current 1.8.x. Stack traces are
> attached.
> Note: This is just a file from my test suite, not a production problem. I am
> not sure whether the parser or the PDF is wrong, but the fact that it renders
> fine in Acrobat and in 1.7.x indicates that the former is true. The offending
> font is F2, if I catch and ignore the runtime exception in
> PDResources#getFonts() then it is reported as missing in the PageDrawer.
