Hi,
The best would be to create an issue with JIRA and upload the file
there, if it isn't confidential.
Re "the latest", did you use an 1.8 version or a 2.0 version?

I have been using PDFBox to extract text from several different PDF files fine.
I use the latest PDFBox app with ExtractText class. There is one PDF that
PDFBox (and iText) fails to extract any text even though I can extract the text
with Adobe Reader and also pdftotext.exe part of XPdf. I don't want to have to
rely on using pdftotext.exe from a PC since this is part of an automated
application. I think the error relates to an unknown font type and having to
use the few fonts installed in the jar file. I tried running the API classes
and trying to force a font from a certain location but I still got errors. I
thought I loaded the font with the loadTTF method but I don't know if that did
anything with the font. I would really like to have this working straight from
the ExtractText class anyway. I'm thinking I might have to build my own after
putting a bunch of Windows fonts somewhere and changing a properties file but I
really don't know
if that is the right direction I should be taking and I am new to PDFBox.
Any ideas?
Here are the errors I am getting. I tried this from both a Windows PC and our
system but I get the same errors. The section starting processEncodedText and
on repeats a few times so I just included the first entries.
