             Summary: Drawing only a portion of a PDF (Graphics.clip is 
ignored/overwritten)
                 Key: PDFBOX-4583
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4583
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jan Buschtöns
         Attachments: clip_PDFBox_FORMGEN-2184-master.zip

I want to use PDFBox to draw PDFs in a swing application.

I want to draw only a portion of the PDF. As far as I know, the way to do this 
in swing is with the "clip"-method on the Graphics object. However, no matter 
what clip I set, the whole PDF is drawn.

PDFRenderer calls "setClip", when it probably should use "clip". The latter 
sets the current clip to the intersection of the old current clip and the 
provided shape, whereas the former resets the current clip

I've attached an example maven project, but the gist is:
{code:java}

          @Override 
          public void paint(final Graphics g) { 
 
              final Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g; 
              try { 
                  PDDocument pdDocument = 
DDocument.load(App.class.getResourceAsStream("somepdf.pdf")); 
                  g2.clip(new Rectangle(20, 20)); 
                  final PDFRenderer pdfRenderer = new 
org.apache.pdfbox.rendering.PDFRenderer(pdDocument); 
                  pdfRenderer.renderPageToGraphics(0, g2); 
              } catch (final IOException e) { 
                  throw new RuntimeException(e); 
              } 
          }

  {code}
