Example PDF

Currently, pdftotext/TextOutputDev extracts control characters like form feeds
from the PDF. These should be filtered, as the users expects form feeds to be
inserted by pdftotext alone.

In the attached PDF, there is a form feed character (0xC) extracted between the
word "sich" and the following formula. The form feed is - AFAICT - actually a
character from the CMSY10 font.
