I am not getting the correct answer, Created an separate pdfbox osgi bundle and deployed successfully. It has active status. And project bundle is also deployed having active status.

but it gives error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument

Yes, finally I got solutions but PDF box updated api like 2.0.14 or 1.8.16 are not resolved with AEM 6.

AEM works with very lower versions of PDFBOX only. Might be this the limitation while you are working in AEM, so keep these things in mind.

Use pdfbox bundle's symbolic name in <Require-Bundle>... </Require-Bundle> in your pom.xml under maven- bundle-plugin

Thanks, but I already read the same use case. but  I am getting the problem with AEM6, after creating the jar bundle and deployed that on instance with active status, my project bundle also in active status but not able to find the PDFBox API classes.
