First I was indeed confused about the image formats. The PDF that caused the problem does have JBIG2 images according to Acrobat Pre-Flight. However, Chris' workaround to test for "JPEG2000" corrected the problem in PDFBox 2.0.7. I have no idea what that is indicative of. Maybe if one reader was gone, they were all gone?
However, your comment that "Tomcat doesn't unload libraries" is not entirely true. There is an explanation of such symptions at https://haraldk.github.io/TwelveMonkeys/, under the section "Deploying the plugins in a web app". TwelveMonkeys has a solution for that in the class "com.twelvemonkeys.servlet.image.IIOProviderContextListener", also described in that section. And deploying a listener according to those instructions solved similar issues with TwelveMonkey Imageio plugins in PDFBox. Just putting jars in a shared folder did not help. There is a statement there that the class should apply to all ImageIO plugins, but maybe there is some addition 'glue' that needs to be applied? Or does JBIG need something similar to TwelveMonkeys?
