Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3719:
-----------------------------------------
The behavior is correct. Your font TT2 has this ToUnicode content:
{code}
/CIDInit /ProcSet findresource begin
12 dict begin
begincmap
/CIDSystemInfo <<
/Registry (Adobe)
/Ordering (UCS)
/Supplement 0
>> def
/CMapName /Adobe-Identity-UCS def
/CMapType 2 def
1 begincodespacerange
<00><FF>
endcodespacerange
26 beginbfrange
<21><21><0044>
<22><22><0075>
<23><23><006d>
<24><24><0079>
<25><25><0009> <==== that's a tab
<26><26><0064>

endbfrange
endcmap
CMapName currentdict /CMap defineresource pop
end
end
{code}
Hex 25 is "%", and 0009 is a tab. If you look at your content stream with
PDFDebugger, you'll see that "%" is used for font TT2 a lot.
You should complain to the creator of the file, "Mac OS X 10.12.3 Quartz
PDFContext", and ask why a TAB in the ToUnicode content.
