Here's IBM's answer. It was problem with their JDK. The workaround they recommended we use is -Dibm.stream.nio=true. It worked fine after that.

There have been nice code examples and everything worked fine on Windows 32bit with Sun JDK 1.4.2. Now the system where the application will run is a Linux SLES 64bit with IBM JDK 1.4.2. I've deployed the application to the server and got a strange effect: For displayed text each character space is replaced by the word 'space'. Has anyone encountered the same issue? BTW: Will there be a 1.0 version of PDFBox for Java 1.4.2?
