Could not read embedded OTF for font and TTF.loca unknown offset format

Hi,

I'm using PDFBox to extract text from PDF files. It works for most files but have an issue with one particular file.
I'm getting two errors.

1. o.a.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType2 : Could not read embedded OTF for font CTQGJF+Arial-BoldMT
   2. java.io.IOException: Error:TTF.loca unknown offset format. at org.apache.fontbox.ttf.IndexToLocationTable.read(IndexToLocationTable.java:71)
   
There is two fonts embedded in the file. I get the same error for both fonts. These fonts are embedded asTTFrather thanOTF. There is also some text added in front of the font name that looks a bit random.
There is no issues opening the file in a PDF reader. Information from the PDF reader below.

Is there some way of dealing with these two errors?



Regards,


Mikael

(2) should bring a number

Both mean that the font / the PDF is broken.

Can you extract the text with Adobe?

Please share the file (upload to sharehoster) and tell what PDFBox 
version you're using
