Hello again,
I got distracted by other work from this issue and I've returned to it
today. Here are the experiments I've performed:
1) view PDF with PdfReader (it renders correctly)
2) print PDF to HP LaserJet 4P (it renders with many lines and text
omitted)
3) comment-out W/W* in PageDrawer.properties
4) restart PdfReader and repeat #1 and #2 (with same result)
OK, so the clipping has nothing to do with that issue.
I archived all my code changes and retrieved the latest sources from
svn. So, I should be running the latest and greatest code.
If you goto PDFBOX-490
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-490>, you'll find attached
file filled.pdf that manifests this error, but I've been seeing this
with a lot of different PDFs: display looks good, print looks bad. I can
attach another file to PDFBOX-483
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-483> if you'd like.
I've tried that pdf and it works like a charm except for some misplaced
characters. I'm using ubuntu linux, java 1.6.0_15 32bit and a HP Laserjet 2550N.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your Laserjet 4P is a quite old model, isn't it?
Did you update the driver? Has it a postscript option or is it a pcl only model?
How much memory is installed to the printer? Probably that could be a potential
bottleneck.
Can you point me to where I should look to see why text appears on
screen, but not on paper?
Hmmm, good question. Perhaps you should try to find differences between working
documents and those which don't work. Or you will probably find something that
documents have in common which don't work, e.g. font tpye (true type, type1,
etc.), fonts are embedded or not, font encoding (ansi, CID, identity-H, etc.),
acroform included or not ....
