There are a lot of pdfs out there using a so called embedded subtype ttf. They 
are not yet supported by pdfbox. See [1] for further details.

What in detail is the problem? Is there any printout? Do you get an exception?

There is no example, but it should be that hard. The PDFReader just uses the 
convertToImage method of PDPage to create a BufferedImage of each page, which 
is shown within an Panel. That's all.
