I was able to reproduce the problem, and also to print on a virtual
printer that creates new PDFs of that size, by using the longest
constructor of PDFPrinter().
Sadly the output is blank. So we have a bug.
But... I wonder why would anyone print a PDF into a PDF.
- Do you want to remove meta stuff created by FOP by reprinting the PDF ?
- Or do you want to print on an endless paper printer? E.g. a cash
register receipt printer?
PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
PDPage pdPage = new PDPage(new PDRectangle(198.425f,
1700.787f)); // = 70 x 600 mm
document.addPage(pdPage);
PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD;
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new
PDPageContentStream(document, pdPage);
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.setFont(font, 12);
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(100, 10);
for (int i = 0; i < 17; ++i)
{
contentStream.drawString("Hello World " + i);
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(0, 100);
}
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.moveTo(1, 1);
contentStream.lineTo(1, 1700);
contentStream.lineTo(197, 1700);
contentStream.lineTo(197, 1);
contentStream.closeAndStroke();
contentStream.moveTo(1, 1);
contentStream.lineTo(197, 1700);
contentStream.closeAndStroke();
contentStream.moveTo(1, 1700);
contentStream.lineTo(197, 1);
contentStream.closeAndStroke();
contentStream.close();
System.out.println(document.getPage(0).findMediaBox());
System.out.println(document.getPage(0).findCropBox());
// document.save("XXXXXXXXXXX/Page.pdf");
Paper paper = new Paper();
paper.setSize(198.425f, 1700.787f);
//PDFPrinter pdfPrinter = new PDFPrinter(document,
PrinterJob.getPrinterJob()); // A4
//PDFPrinter pdfPrinter = new PDFPrinter(document,
Scaling.ACTUAL_SIZE, Orientation.AUTO, paper, 0);
PDFPrinter pdfPrinter = new PDFPrinter(document,
PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(), Scaling.ACTUAL_SIZE, Orientation.AUTO,
paper, false, 0); // blank
//PDFPrinter pdfPrinter = new PDFPrinter(document,
Scaling.ACTUAL_SIZE, Orientation.AUTO); // cut off
//PDFPrinter pdfPrinter = new PDFPrinter(document,
Scaling.SCALE_TO_FIT, Orientation.AUTO); // A4
//PDFPrinter pdfPrinter = new PDFPrinter(document,
Scaling.SHRINK_TO_FIT, Orientation.AUTO); // A4
pdfPrinter.silentPrint();
document.close();

Hello,
I use FOP to generate PDFs, and PDFBOX to print them.
Recently I switched to the trunk version, mainly because of these
issues in the current stable version:
* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1452
* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1776
* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1776
The trunk version fixed the above issues but has a new one: when I
print a PDF with an unusual page size, the printed page size is
incorrect.
1. PDF is generated using FOP, page size is 2,76x23,62 (correct)
2. I load the PDF using PDDocument.load() then immediately save() it,
the resulting PDF has page size of 2,76x23,62 (correct)
3. pdfDocument.getPage(0).findMediaBox() returns
[0.0,0.0,198.425,1700.787] (correct)
4. But when I try to print it using /new PDFPrinter(pdfDocument,
printJob).silentPrint()/ to a virtual PdfCreator printer, then the
resulting PDF has page size of 8,26x11,69 and the content is
horizontally centered on the page. I tried physical printers as well
with the same result, the output always seems to have A4 size...
Do you have any idea how can I change the page size for printing?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Best regards:
Norbert Sándor
