I figured it out.

It turns out that the pdf was a printout pdf. It sorta worked when I asserted the premium_mode. Once I get the orignial one and extracted the pages I needed in real pdf format it worked just fine even with premium_mode=False.

Thanks for reporting, we will add the document to our internal test set, and will handle this kind of buggy type3 font in the future. (try to copy paste from the shared doc to see what I mean)
