Yeah, that is an XFA form, which we don't support and which is deprecated in PDF 2.0.

Please tell this website to do back to AcroForm.

I dont know if you can help me with my problem, but i figured I would try and 
ask. I have a simple text extraction java class using PDFBox which reads a pdf 
file, opens it, and extracts text. It has been working for quite sometime. The 
website we download our PDF's from recently made changes to their published PDF 
files. The only difference i see with their files are in the Security tab in 
the properties section. The following restrictions setting are now set to, Not 
Allowed;  Signing and Creation of Template Pages. There is also a message which 
says; * This PDF from restricts some operations.
When I print output from my class the following is printed;
LINE ***Please wait...
LINE ***
LINE ***If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of 
the document, your PDF
LINE ***viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
LINE ***
LINE ***You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, 
Mac, or Linux® by
LINE ***visitinghttp://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
LINE ***

It appears as if the contents of the PDF are being blocked and replaced with 
the messages above.
Random PDF files with all of the settings set to Allowed, can still be opened 
and text extracted with my java class. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  Hi Tilman,
I ran it through the PDFDebugger and the error message came up in the what 
looked like a PDF viewer. I am behind a firewall, so i can not upload a 
document, but if you download this PDF it should give you the results i am 
seeing.
