failed: DDXM_S18005: An error occurred in the PrepareTOC phase while building <TableOfContents>.
When using DDX to merge certain pdf files, we get the following error:
failed: DDXM_S18005: An error occurred in the PrepareTOC phase while building <TableOfContents>. Cause given.
We are running Coldfusion 9.0.1 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit server.
The error occurs only on certain pdf files, and only if we include them in the table of contents.
There was a similar bug in Coldfusion 8 that was fixed, but it looks like it's come back again in Coldfusion 9.

The resulting output:
The "bad" pdf is a perfectly normal PDF with the Helvetica font (this is what the copier does).
The "good" pdf is a perfectly normal PDF from a different copier, without the Helvetica font.
The fonts available, as listed by the ColdFusion Administration page, include ArialMT and Helvetica:
The good and bad pdf files, as well as the ddx and cfm files can be downloaded here if you want to run it yourself: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55552656/merge.zip
