I'm sorry. I was not using exactly pdfbox-app-2.0.4.jar but pdfbox-app-2.0.4-20160925.091907-39.jar (maybe a snapshot build?). I'm not sure where did I get that version. I have tryied with pdfbox-app-2.0.4.jar and the output is the same than in version 2.0.6.
So, I tried again with pdfbox-app-2.0.3.jar (downloaded from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.3) and It produces the same output than pdfbox-app-2.0.4-20160925.091907-39.jar (so the change is between versions 2.0.3 and 2.0.4).

But I am not able to reproduce the effect with jdk8. With jdk9 there is an effect but it looks better for me (my screen is on 125%). The PDFToImage results are identical. What jdk are you using? What OS, and do you have a screen that is not set at 100% ?
