In the Open dialog, you had the filter set to "Extract from PDF", didn't you? Unfortunately, FontForge doesn't support some common compression techniques used in modern PDFs (version 1.5 and above) and, as you have seen, makes a very bad attempt. This is the case even for the very latest upstream code, I'm afraid, so this is unlikely to be fixed any time soon.
Although this has been submitted upstream and no progress has been made, we have a way forward locally, so I'm reopening this. Although correctly processing newer PDFs is a large job, I can stop FontForge crashing by at least recognising the PDFs that will crash. I'll be applying a patch shortly.
