Incompatibility - When using action = extracttext with cfpdf

Description

I made a test with below example. In cfpdf tag using action - extractttext, seemed the result doesn't return the content as correct from the pdf.

<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="#expandpath('lucee.pdf')#" overwrite="true"> <p>This is <strong> PDF </strong> example <b> document <small> for </small> the <strike> test with CSS styles. </strike> </b></p> <p>This is PDF example document.</p> </cfdocument> <cfpdf action = "extracttext" type="xml" name="result" source="lucee.pdf"> <cfdump var="#result#" />

The result should be,

This is PDF example document for the test with CSS styles. This is PDF example document as xml format

But, lucee returns,

This is example PDF document the for test with CSS styles. This is PDF example document as xml format.

I'm looking to use this on external PDFs that the user provides, and I have no control over how my users create their PDFs. It sounds like the function is basically unreliable and no fix has been found. As Zac pointed out, we're on a old version of PDFBox. I wonder how much work it is to update the library.
