We are getting close to releasing version 0.8.0 ... but have hit several little snags (documents not quite right, stuff like that) so haven't quite released it.
But the code in the SVN repository is MUCH better than the 0.7.3 code from 2-3 years ago. If you want to skip getting all the code & just start with a JAR, I've put one built yesterday at http://www.blacklocustsoftware.com/PDFBox_Binaries.php .
