Yeah, fair enough. I can't read any asian languages either, so I know the feeling :) Is there some way to have PDFBox indicate that it can't handle a PDF correctly? Like, is there some function that verifies there aren't any CID fonts, or is there a method that throws exceptions when trying to read things that it can't handle? I'd like to use PDFBox for the PDFs that it can handle, and then fall back to pdftotext for the ones that it can't.
