FdfExtractor.extractText() error: font subtype is not supported

I'm getting the following error when trying to extract the text from a PDF:

java.io.IOException: font subtype is not supported

Here is the code, which is pretty much the same as in the examples:

PdfExtractor extractor = new PdfExtractor();

extractor.bindPdf( "C:\\Temp\\00400_00000001_ST_201211.pdf" );

extractor.extractText();

My initial testing was with pdf-kit 4.3.0, but the problem still occurs in 4.5.0. PDF is attached.

Anyone seen this before?
