Bug for: cfpdfform() throws java.lang.NullPointerException on richtext fields

Repro:

1) Download attached MyPDFWithRichTextField.pdf
2) Run cfpdfform(action="read", source=expandPath("./MyPDFWithRichTextField.pdf"), result="myVar");

Actual result: result="myVar" causes java.lang.NullPointerException

Expected result: result="myVar" should not cause java.lang.NullPointerException

3) Run this:

<cfscript>	
  cfpdfform(action="read", source=expandPath("./MyPDFWithRichTextField.pdf"), xmlData="myXML");
  fileWrite(expandPath("./myXML.xml"), myXML);
  cfpdfform(action="populate", source=expandPath("./MyPDFWithRichTextField.pdf"), destination=expandPath("./MyPDFWithRichTextFieldPopulated.pdf"), overwrite=true, overwritedata=true, xmldata=expandPath("./myXML.xml"));
</cfscript>

Actual result: java.lang.NullPointerException

Expected result: no exception

iText library's newest versions support xml population of pdf forms with rich text fields, this should also be updated in CF
