Description

Looks like a character mapping issue crept in some time between 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 on this file?

With both seq and NonSeq parsers, the correct text was extracted via ExtractText in 1.8.5. In 1.8.6, java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.6.jar ExtractText yields text starting with:

7>PFLK>I 9>NH ;BNRF@B
=%;% .BM>NPJBKP LC PEB 3KPBNFLN
9>@FCF@ -L>OP ;@FBK@B >KA 5B>NKFKD -BKPBN
:BOB>N@E 9NLGB@P ;QJJ>NT .B@BJ?BN (&&*
"&++&,-+Æ$( #&+-&%+$-& !).&)-*+Æ&,
