As pointed out by others, it used a really old Java stack that is no
longer supported.

There is a more modern replacement called mcpdf.  It supports the same
command line syntax but has much more modern underpinnings.  However,
it uses a newer version of the iText library that cannot be included
in Fedora due to nonfree restrictions in its license:

If you are fine with those additional restrictions, you are still free
to download and it use it yourself.  Make sure you have OpenJDK
installed if you do not already (`yum install java`), then download
and run it, as described here:
