While old mupdf and patch have been provided when qiqqa went open source, I haven't been able to recreate that pdfdraw.exe binary from that.
Meanwhile mupdf has moved on (quite a bit) and new output formats for extracted text are available. (hOCR, etc.)
This means extra migration effort but this one is becoming quite pressing as it locks up on many PDFs that way, also in my regular libraries.
The nett effect is that the fans start when running Qiqqa and never stop spinning while the machine becomes slower and slower as more pdfdraw keep running in the background and never terminate, also not once Qiqqa itself is terminated / exited / quit.
Example in "evil corpus" library: the exact command line that locks up one core (several others show same behaviour)
