but not with the second: at that time, it isn't known whether rendering or text 
extraction is being done.

... and that means that PDFBox has to insist on every PDF it opens to bring 
along the information required for all possible tasks?

I would prefer it if missing information only cause a disruption like an

Cf. my reply to [~jahewson], one should consider setting it to an empty 
encoding instead of {{null}}.
