Hi all, 
I am on Debian sid now and this issue is still there. 

Error: Illegal entry in bfchar block in ToUnicode CMap

It does not matter what app I use get the same issue.


$ epdfview cellit.pdf 
Error: Illegal entry in bfchar block in ToUnicode CMap


$ xpdf cellit.pdf 
Error: Illegal entry in bfchar block in ToUnicode CMap

and it takes quite a bit of time to open up (more than a minute) the
file. This is on Pentium Dual-core. The error comes out multiple times.

One can find the pdf I was opening at
http://cellit.co.in/ui_images/magazines/pdf/Magazine-1-2012-33.pdf . I
just renamed it to cellit so I remember.

  When it did show, it is/was sort of grainy. 

  
  If there is some sort font which is missing, it should show in some understandable manner.
