George,
You should be able to switch to xpdf2text with little effort. It saved us
loads of time trying to figure out why filter-media was taking so long to run
(ours sometimes ran for days at a time) and it now successfully filters 100% of
our pdf documents except for those that are truly corrupt (so it also helps us
identify corrupt docs in our repository). You can find installation
documentation at
https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/attachment/10527/xpdf-filters.html
Good luck,
Sue

We had lots of problems with filter-media until we changed pdfbox to xpdf2text.

Have a look at the suggestions in this thread:

Updating pdfbox worked for me.
