Ok, that doesn't look very good. They can't upgrade and we can't wait until pdfbox 2.1 is released (which could take years). >>> There were also lots of unapplied patches which I simply removed.

The current get-orig-source target worked for me. I just wasn't sure what problem you had to solve back then. The code from Adobe appears to be free software, so it wasn't clear to me what you wanted to achieve, especially the Built-Using stuff.

I can live with another package (that means there are eight new dependencies for pdfsam at the moment). Then I go for src:libpdfbox2-java and drop the libjempbox-java binary package for this source package. Cheers, Markus
