Not sure how much help I can be, I have no clue what DSpace is doing with Solr.
If you're willing to try to index straight to Solr, you can always use SolrJ to parse the files, it's actually not very hard. Here's an example: https://lucidworks.com/blog/2012/02/14/indexing-with-solrj/ some database stuff is mixed in there, but that can be removed. Otherwise, perhaps the DSpace folks have more guidance on what/how they expect to do with PDFs.
