Problem Description: Extracting text using this version is considerably slower than earlier versions; more than twice as slow.

Steps to Reproduce: I downloaded and used this PDF for testing: https://www.planetebook.com/free-ebooks/1984.pdf

I ran the following with versions 10, 11, 2016, and 2018.
___
start = getTickCount();
cfpdf( action = 'extracttext', source = expandPath( 'path-to-pdf' ), name = 'text', useStructure = true, honourspaces = true );
duration_in_milliseconds = getTickCount() - start;
writeOutput('#duration_in_milliseconds / 1000#');
___

Actual Result: ColdFusion 2018 was more than twice as slow as any other version.

Expected Result: The time would be the same for the latest version.

Any Workarounds: Using a Java Library like PDFBox for text extraction.
