Description

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType0.getFontMatrix(PDCIDFontType0.java:169)
	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType0.<init>(PDCIDFontType0.java:153)

	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFontFactory.createFont(PDFontFactory.java:83)

UPDATE: The PDF contains a CIDFontType0 which has a FontFile3 containing a Type1 PFB font. This is invalid, but Type1C is permitted and the two are equivalent, so it should be possible to handle this. However, the current design of PD CIDFontType0 does not permit it.
