I have a PDF (downloadable at http://bit.ly/1w96YVz) that prints fine in PDFBox 
1.8.6 (using the pdfbox-app distribution, if it matters). The text is properly 
spaced and prints without issue, matching how it appears in Adobe Reader and OS 
X Preview.

But in both PDFBox 1.8.7 and the latest 1.8.8 snapshot, PDFBox only prints the 
letters "F u c r", with a great deal of spacing in between. Oddly, theses are 
the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th letters of the text in the PDF. Nothing else appears 
on any other line. 

The code that I am using with both versions of the library is as follows:

------------
String fileLocation = //File Location
File scratchFile = new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"), 
"TempFile.tmp");
if (!scratchFile.exists())
        scratchFile.createNewFile();
scratchFile.deleteOnExit();
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(fileLocation, new 
RandomAccessFile(scratchFile, "rw"));
doc.print();
------------

I tried searching the issue tracker to see if this is a known issue, but I 
wasn't entirely sure what sort of words to search for. I'd appreciate it if 
community could tell me if this is a known issue or, if not, whether or not a 
bug report might be created for the behavior.

Thanks in Advance,
