Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-870: ---------------------------------------- The ones described in PDFBOX-1800 and PDFBOX-1701 and PDFBOX-1689. To summarize: 1- Don't use the broken Arial font that is with PDFBOX, use the OS Arial font instead 2- Map non embedded TTF fonts to TTF fonts included with the OS 3- Use fallback solutions if a font isn't found 1 brings copyright problems, 2 & 3 are OS dependent. > PDF-To-IMAGE output is not anti-aliased > --------------------------------------- > > Key: PDFBOX-870 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-870 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Rendering > Affects Versions: 1.3.1 > Reporter: Nicolas Hoibian > Attachments: a_metro-vlc.pdf, > a_metro-vlc.pdf-1-antialiasing-fontmods.png, > a_metro-vlc.pdf-1-antialioasing.png, a_metro-vlc.pdf-1.png, > pdf-renderer_vlc.png, pdfbox_vlc.png > > > Hi > I am a user of pdf-renderer from java.net, and I am looking into the pdf to > image part of pdfbox. > So far it seems that pdfbox can render more of the pdf that are problematic > with pdf-renderer, but for those that work in both, the pdf-to-image output > is prettier for pdf-renderer, as both the font and shapes/path/lines are > anti-aliased. > With PDFbox, the text is sometimes antialiased, but never the shapes/drawings. > Is there a way to have shapes antialiased ? > I am using the latest version from svn. > Here are some examples in the difference of rendering -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
