Q: 

pdftotext - Error: Illegal entry in bfchar block in ToUnicode CMap

I am running pdftotext on a bunch of pdfs, and some of them throw this error:

Error: Illegal entry in bfchar block in ToUnicode CMap

I took a look at the outfiles, and they seem to look ok, so I'm not sure if it's a significant error, but I am concerned. Does anyone know what this error is, what causes it, and how much damage there is because of it?

A: 

I'm having the same problem. I think it has something to do with FF (forward feed ascii code) embebed in the source pdf, but no sure.
