Currently pdf2txt transformation in norma uses PDF2TXT in PDFBox 1.8. The new version 2.0 is now released and much better I believe.

Complete conversion of pdf2svg is a significant amount of work as signatures have changed, but there is a more or less standalone PDFTextStripper which should be usable. It may require version-aware hacking of the pom file, and may even require removal of old pdf2svg code. OTOH it may be simple to to add the new PDFBox depending on signatures.
