             Summary: PDFType3Font can have Encoding which is not a COSDictionary
                 Key: PDFBOX-3513
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3513
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PDModel
    Affects Versions: 2.0.3
            Reporter: Emanuel Greisen


I tried the "ExtractTextByArea" with a PDF from my bank and go the following stacktrace:

{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSName cannot be cast to org.apache.pdfbox.cos.COSDictionary
	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType3Font.readEncoding(PDType3Font.java:70)
	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType3Font.<init>(PDType3Font.java:57)

{code}

I can read the PDF with evince, pdftk, lesspipe to extract text. I cannot upload the file as it is a bank statement with content I will not share.

Debugging the application I found that the return from PDType3Font.java:69

{code}
dict.getDictionaryObject(COSName.ENCODING)
{code}

Is an object of type: "COSName" with the name property set to "WinAnsiEncoding".

I hope this helps - despite the fact that I cannot share the example PDF.
