Hi! I'm one of the maintainers of Tabula [0].
Due to some changes in PDFBox, we've been running on 2.0.15 for some time now, and we would love to keep Tabula updated with the newest version of our favorite library :) Last year, Tilman Hausherr graciously submitted a PR [1] that updated PDFBox to 2.0.19, but unfortunately broke a few tests, as it seems that there were changes in the font measurement heuristics. Text measurement is a critical need of Tabula, so we had to choose to stick with the latest compatible version. We want to offer a $200 USD bounty to fix the issue. We run entirely on donations, and have funds available for this [2]. The goal is to update Tabula to use PDFBox 2.0.20, and the requirement is that the test suite passes in its entirety. If you're interested, please get in touch with me at man...@jazzido.com Thanks!
