Thanks, Unfortunately for me, my code consumes pdf's. The cap height issue is on another page of the pdf document ( https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3JXBo1bPbwPNVRYaFFqNVpONU0 ). I used Adobe Acrobat to strip out customer info, so hopefully the issue is still present. The best text to demonstrate the problem is "Ending Balance". I am going to take a look now at DrawPrintTextLocations.java. Any help on where to find resources on how to actually figure this out would be great. I wasn't able to view the font with FontForge. I am not super familiar with PDFs/Postscript and have sort of been dropped into the fire trying to figure this out. As you mentioned, there is a bug with fonts, while I am just trying to figure out what the code snippet below even means. Also, While there is a bug, the file still opens with Acrobat Reader, so there must be a way to extract the information.
