Description

I get this exception with the attached file:

WARNUNG: Using fallback font 'TimesNewRomanPSMT' for 'Symbol,Italic'
Sep 10, 2014 12:59:30 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDSimpleFont toUnicode
WARNUNG: No Unicode mapping for character code 119 in font Symbol,Italic

The file probably does have a problem, AR claims that the /BBox value for "Symbol,Italic" is incorrect. However it displays the file, and so does GSView.
