--- Comment #8 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

OP had a broken WINEPREFIX. The message in managed backtrace attached in
comment #1 hints at it: 'unknown heap type: CLR' (result of mixing Wine-Mono
and .NET core CLR).

I found an old PDFill PDF Editor 11 download via Internet Archive/Wayback
machine:

https://web.archive.org/web/20140625142535/http://www.plotsoft.com/download/PDFill.exe

(2013 snapshots and earlier are v10).

Starting with v11, the app additionally depends on .NET Framework 2.0
The installer downloads and installs all required prerequisites on its own:

* Ghostscript 8.x
* JAVA 6  runtime
* .NET Framework 2.0

NOTE: 'winetricks -q mfc42' is still required

Since OP didn't mention any 'winetricks' recipe for .NET at all, I assume the
app installed .NET over Wine-Mono, messing the prefix up.

Works fine for me here with old Wine 1.6 using a Wine build without Wine-Mono
enabled (installs .NET 2.0 automatically, not requiring winetricks).

For the empty Windows 'fonts' folder issue you can also just install one font:
'winetricks arial'.

Used this sample PDF:

$ sha1sum PDFill.exe 
0a3c37459dfd106c2d0d65189beb2b5f52902c5e  PDFill.exe

$ du -sh PDFill.exe 
11M    PDFill.exe

$ wine --version
wine-1.6-8-g1d86b62184

Regards
