Thanks for your persistence in looking at this. It looks like I got my PDFs mixed up earlier and this issue with PDFs not printing properly only seems to happen on OS X, where I can consistently reproduce it, but not on Windows 8. In both cases, I am using Java 7.
If there is any more information I can provide or testing I can try, let me know. -Will Herrmann > On Dec 1, 2014, at 1:53 PM, Tilman Hausherr <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I've just tried your code, even with the scratch file, and I was able to > print without any trouble.
