Tres Finocchiaro updated PDFBOX-6269:
-------------------------------------
    Environment: macOS 26.3, PDFBOX 3.0.x, Java 25

> Barcode fuzzy/blurry printed with macOS
> ---------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: PDFBOX-6269
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6269
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.37, 3.0.8 PDFBox
>         Environment: macOS 26.3, PDFBOX 3.0.x, Java 25
>            Reporter: Tres Finocchiaro
>            Priority: Major
>         Attachments: USPS_STRIPPED.pdf
>
>
> Similar to PDFBOX-4435, the attached PDF prints with a blurry barcode.
> The PDF is a 4x6 USPS shipping label that – when printed – must be scannable 
> by a barcode reader.  If the barcode is blurry it makes it difficult to scan. 
>  The printer is generally 203 DPI, so small artifacts that may go unnoticed 
> on standard printers can be much dire.
>  * Tests are performed on macOS 26.3 with Java 11 and Java 25.  PDFBOX 2.x 
> and 3.x.
>  * Issue was originally reported on a Zebra Label printer however the 
> "blurring" of the barcode is reproducible with a virtual PDF printer.
>  * Attempts to set rendering hints to nearest-neighbor don't seem to rememdy 
> this.
>  * To make sure this isn't a duplicate of PDFBOX-5971, I also tested the PDF 
> against this OpenJDK patch [https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8251928] to 
> no avail.
