Have you tried the latest PDFBox code? It is much improved in the rendering area since the 0.7.3 release. In fact, several more improvements were made over the weekend ... one of them improving speed and the others improving correctness.
Merging PDFBox with PDFRenderer would present a huge technical challenge ... and the LGPL license doesn't mix very well (I suspect) with the Apache license.
