PDFbox stumbles also with "class java.io.IOException with message: - You
do not have permission to extract text" in case the doc is copy/print
protected.
I tested now the snowtide commercial product and it looks like it could
process these files as well. Performance was also not so bad. Unfortunatly
the test result could not be considered as 100%, because the free version
processed just first 8 pages. After all this product costs a fortune
(as long the company is ready to pay I don't realy mind:))

On the specific problem of the "dead loop", I reported an instance of
this to Ben a week or so ago and he has fixed it in the latest
nightlies. I expect an official release will include this bugfix soon.
The file in question was unreadable with any PDF software I have, but
someone managed to create it somehow...

I've found pdfbox to be pretty good. The only time I get problems is
with corrupted or egregiously bad PDF files.
