Thank you Maruan, Apologies for the noise. I have now resolved this. I simplified my code for the examples I gave in the email. The issue is not with PDF Box, rather a 3rd party library which was processing the string "Çâmára Münícìpål de Matelâñdia" before it reached PDFBox was mangling it.
Thanks again. Adam.
