While debugging, I've found that PDCIDFontType2 [2] assumes a matrix scale of 0.001, with a warning that it may not always be the case. Could it be that I've hit a case where this transform not accurate? Aside from that, I must be missing some kind of transformation. Here is the document that exhibits the behaviour: http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/117733.pdf?v=749e35894eaceae628d3ad91751a2fef Thanks again, Branden [2] https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/trunk/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/font/PDCIDFontType2.java#L187-L195 >> >> [1] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/063db3b1b5ed040be41c >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
