Description

For some reason pdfbox is trying to access C:\windows\sytem32\inetsrv folder.
We are usinf pdfbox to parse pdf files in our sitecore based CMS website.
This folder is locked in production servers, giving access is a security hole.
Here is what we see in event logs:
CreateFile C:\windows\sytem32\inetsrv\org\apache\pdfbox\resources\cmap\WinansiEncoding PATH NOT FOUND Desired Access: Read Attributes
Let me know if more details are needed.
