is it possible to batch extract text from pdf files within a tree of
folders within a zip file ?
. . . and save the text files in the same tree structure on another drive ?
this seems a big ask

sure... but this is not a PDFBox problem, this is related to go through
a ZIP file. Read about ZipInputStream and ZipEntry.

Might want to look at Tika (which uses PDFBox) for that.
Let's say you have an <inputdir> that contains your zips.
java -jar tika-app.jar -J -t -i <inputdir> -o <outputdir>
See if that gets you close enough.

PDFBox can extract the text from the PDF files for you, however
unpacking the zip file, locating the PDF documents, saving in a
different format and rezipping I believe is something you'll have to
handle with other other libraries like commons-compress [1].
Hope that helps.
