Aaaaarghhhhhh!!!!!

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3523

see near the bottom:

Commit 1763621 from Tilman Hausherr <https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=tilman> in branch 'pdfbox/branches/2.0'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1763621 ]

PDFBOX-3523 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3523>: disable high quality interpolation if image is scaled up by ctm AND xform (temporary commit)



I then waited for feedback of the user who wrote "Alright, I will try it again, probably, tomorrow", and never got it, and forgot to revert the change that you're complaining about (rightfully!).

I have reverted the change, and will think whether to make it configurable, or just do nothing.

A snapshot is available here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.7-SNAPSHOT/
it is  at the bottom of the page, the number must be 70 or higher.

Ok, now I can confirm it. You wrote "PDFDebugger" in your first post, but you meant PDFToImage. It does happen as described. The images are created with 120 dpi here, probably 96 dpi on your system.

I have no idea why, but I'll investigate it and come back to you.

In my case out1.jpg has a different size (4.107 vs 4.286). If you compare visually the output, files are almost the same, the difference is visible when you zoom in.

My screen should be at 100% (how can I check?).

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).
Maven Repository: org.apache.pdfbox » pdfbox-app » 2.0.3<https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.3>
mvnrepository.com
org.apache.pdfbox pdfbox-app




Same rendering in PDFDebugger for me, regardless whether jdk8 or jdk9.

Thanks... disregard my theory about PDFBOX-1958. 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% ?

Hello.


I have noticed with PDFDebugger that the same pdf is rendered
differently by pdfbox-2.0.4 and by pdfbox-2.0.5 (pdfbox-2.0.6 produces the same output than pdfbox-2.0.5): the newer versions generate a more
pixelated image.


Please find attached a sample pdf and two screenshots of PDFDebugger
in version 2.0.4 and in version 2.0.5 (also applies for version 2.0.6).

Please upload a PDF to a sharehoster, attachments don't get through. It

see the last two comments I made there. Without the change some files
would not be rendered at all.


The old approach is better for our pourposes. Is there a way to revert
to the old rendering?

By using 2.0.4, obviously. Alternatively build from source code a 2.0.6
version, and try to revert the commit mentioned in the issue above. It
is possible because the change did not touch very much.

But I'd still be interested in seeing your PDF.
