> Degraded quality on macOS when dpi is not provided
> --------------------------------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-5971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5971
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.33, 3.0.4 PDFBox
> Environment: openjdk 11.0.26
> macOS 15.3.1
> Reporter: Tres Finocchiaro
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: image-2025-03-07-13-34-55-860.png,

>
> When providing a `-dpi` to PDFBOX:
> {quote}Render into intermediate image with specific dpi and then print. Use
> -1 for automatic detection of printer resolution.
> {quote}
> When printing to a 203 DPI printer on macOS, the quality differences are
> quite different, with `-dpi 203` being significantly better quality. This
> issue was originally discovered in PDFBOX-5967 due to a downstream usage
> preferring `-dpi 203` for some older JDK versions due to a hard-crash
> (PDFBOX-2682).
>
> Good: (with DPI)
> {quote}{{java -jar ~/Downloads/pdfbox-app-2.0.33.jar PrintPDF -dpi 203
> -noColorOpt ~/Downloads/pb_usps_sample.pdf}}
> {quote}
> Not as good: (without DPI)
> {quote}{{java -jar ~/Downloads/pdfbox-app-2.0.33.jar PrintPDF -noColorOpt
> ~/Downloads/pb_usps_sample.pdf}}
> {quote}
> * I understand that this may be a result of something happening at the
> OS-level. If this is the case, any guidance as to how to isolate and provide
> a bug report for openjdk is greatly appreciated.
> * If there's a workaround that can be used as a stop-gap leveraging the
> PDFBOX API, that would also be greatly appreciated.
