Yes I tried with latest PDFBox 1.8.3 and still having the issue with particularly for Frutiger font rest it is able to extract. i will upload the code to you shortly with test doc as I am working with client tools and there are security paramenters. In meantime could you please suggest some other workaround.

> When i tried to extract contents from PDF's I am successfully able to extract all text with PDFBox API but getting trouble with fonts having 'Frutiger' style. For these i am getting squared Boxes in place of characters.
> It seems PDFBox FontBox supports only 14 UTF characters set  And none of them is Frutiger style fonts. 
> If anybody please can suggest something. That would be of great help. I am in urgent need of the solution.
