Maybe you could offer me some direction of how to solve my problem?

itextpdf?

The trick here is obtaining a mapping between the type 3 font glyphs and some
sort of encoded text. There are several ways that this can be done, and
they are fairly well supported by the text parser - but type 3 fonts, as has
been mentioned, don't *usually* have this sort of mapping
to Unicode values.

Does this help identify the problem?
Yes, but it doesn't bring us closer to a solution.
Type 3 fonts are user defined fonts.
See for instance:

In that example, a 'delta' and 'sigma' shaped glyph was
Hi Kevin,
I'm happy to dig in to the code. Can you point me to a place to start debugging?

Hi,
I have debugged and found that in the displayPdfString method of the
PdfContentStreamProcessor class the string parameter is valid but it
is decoded to a string of the same length but all bytes are set to 0.
private void displayPdfString(PdfString string){

I downloaded and built the latest source code and the exception is no

Am I missing something?

ok - most likely the font is using an encoding that we just don't have
support for yet. The encodings are a bit of a hack right now, so these
unusual cases are tough to deal with.
If you are willing to dig in to the code, I can provide assistance.

I will add to Mark's (excellent) stream of consciousness analysis:
The next step is to see what the name of the font resource is that is
causing the problem. Then, load RUPS and dig into the page dictionary and
find the entry for that font resource - given what Mark is showing in the
source,
On Mark's advice I downloaded the source code from the 5.0.2 branch
and dug a little deeper...
The NPE is thrown on the following line of the DocumentFont constructor.
fontName = PdfName.decodeName(font.getAsName(PdfName.BASEFONT).toString());
It turns out that font.getAsName(PdfName.BASEFONT)

ok - I ran into this issue myself a month or so ago. It's been fixed in the
5.0.3 codebase (which is the current HEAD in SVN).
/** Creates a new instance of DocumentFont */
DocumentFont(PRIndirectReference refFont) {
encoding = ;
fontSpecific = false;
Mark - FYI, basefont isn't required for Type3 fonts (or TrueType for that
matter). I had the same reaction when I first ran into this issue, but the
spec never lies, right? It just injects ambiguity and confusion.
