thanks for the report. Unfortunately there is not much what we can do
here. I think it would be impractical to fix all packages by casting
ByteBuffer.flip to Buffer. By default we compile to source/target 1.7
but I can force -release 9 for libpdfbox2-java to make it clear that we
don't support older JREs in Buster. In fact we will release with OpenJDK
11 as the default JRE. If it works with an older runtime it is always a
bonus but isn't really supported by us.

Regards,

Markus
