> The attached PDF uses transparency groups, blending and soft masks to create 
> the rounded corners and shades behind images. It appears that these features 
> are not implemented in PDFBox. An implementation proposal is attached in the 
> TransparencyGroup.patch. The basic idea is to create a buffered image, draw 
> the transparency group content onto it and then use the result to produce the 
> soft mask or draw the image on the original g2d.
> Note: I am not the (only) author of the proposed change. It was developed in 
> our company few years ago in sources based on a 1.7.x version of PDFBox, 
> mostly by a guy who already left. Over the years, merging of the work done in 
> PDFBox main stream into our source base has become impossible due to many 
> refactorings and other deep going changes done. Now we would like to go the 
> opposite way - where possible - bring the changes and fixes we have done into 
> PDFBox main stream and start to use it in our installations.
