If you can build a PDFBox.jar from the tip of the trunk, then you could simply try to substitute it for the old jar. I would like to know, if that would solve the problem.
There is no exact plan for a next release of GSearch. The current one also works with Fedora 3.2.1. The intention is to go for the next release, when Lucene and Solr release again, then including the newest PDFBox and probably other new ones together with a few minor improvements.
