Description

We're seeing an issue that seems to have been introduced in pdfbox 1.1.0:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFontDescriptorAFM cannot be cast to org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFontDescriptorDictionary

So far, all affected pdf files are confidential. I'll add a test file later if I find one that can be made public. Hope the stack trace is sufficient though.
