Extract HTML instead of plain text:

; [org.apache.pdfbox/pdfbox "2.0.19"]
; [org.apache.pdfbox/pdfbox-tools "2.0.19"]

(import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument)
(import org.apache.pdfbox.tools.PDFText2HTML)
(import java.net.URL)

(defn extract-pdf-text
  [url]
  (with-open [pd (PDDocument/load (.openStream (URL. url)))]
    (let [stripper (PDFText2HTML.)]
      (.getText stripper pd))))
