> ok, I looked at it some more and I'd like to have you get the latest nightly build and try to run ExtractText on your original PDF again. If it doesn't work then run the ExtractFonts again(using the nightly build) and post the results.
> The issue is that there is some extra data at the end of the Cmap stream and tonight I happened to fix an issue with parsing and having extra data at the end of the stream for a different user. So I don't know if this is the same issue but I'd rather have you try the nightly build than have me chasing a ghost.

> shoot, I think your document was encrypted. It needs to be decrypted for the extraction to work, I should have had that as part of the program. Can you take the attached program and add the lines after the PDDocument.load call

> Attached is a simple java program that will create a new pseudo PDF document that contains just the Font information. Please run it on the problem PDF and upload the resulting CmapDocument.pdf
> It is a simple command line program, first compile then run it like this
> java ExtractFonts my.pdf
> Let me know if you have any questions getting it running.

> Hi Matt,
> Can you try one for me first; upgrade to the latest nightly build of PDFBox( http://www.pdfbox.org/dist/ ) and see if this is still an issue. There have been some changes to the CMAPParser.
> If it is still an issue I think we can write a simple program to extract just the fonts from your PDF and that should be enough for me to fix the bug.
