Your code looks fine to me, so that shouldn't be the problem. I suspect that PDFBox is unable to decode characters (ie. the problematic polish characters are outside of the most common US-ASCII character set), but we should be able to get a sample PDF document on our hands to conduct a more thorough investigation. Could you open a JIRA issue and attach a sample PDF document there? VR
