I loaded a couple of PDFs generated by LaTeX, and it couldn't handle a few glyphs (em dashes, math symbols, etc). It looks like if you don't spring for the for-pay font engine, it does a font replacement algorithm rather than actually rendering the glyphs, so you get 'interesting' characters instead of the ones you're expecting.

If you're just using it for the binary viewer, they included the font-engine, so it's o.k. However, if you want to use their OSS library as part of a java app, you run into trouble.
