Jon Wu commented on PDFBOX-678:
-------------------------------
Maruan, did you ever end up finishing any code that worked for this? In
particular, I use PDFBox to rasterize PDFs containing text created with iText.
All I need is basic stroke support so that strokes in
TEXT_RENDER_MODE_FILL_STROKE and TEXT_RENDER_MODE_STROKE (in iText) render in
the rasterized PDF instead of just filling by default.
> Support missing Text Rendering Modes when rendering a PDF

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: PDFReader
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Attachments: Java Printing.pdf

> Of the 7 different Text Rendering Modes only mode 0 (Fill Text) is correctly
> implemented. Mode 1 (Stroke Text) falls back to Mode 0 and the others are not
> implemented. I'm looking to implement the missing modes (at least some of
> them).
> Before doing so I'm proposing a structural change to when rendering really
> occurs. Currently it's done within the PDxxxFont classes. I'd rather
> implement the (AWT) text output in PageDrawer (or helper classes within the
> same package) and use the font classes to return an AWT font by adding a
> getAwtFont method. Doing so we get a better separation between the PDF
> related stuff (PDxxx) and applications like PageDrawer. The current rendering
> specific code within the PDxxxFont classes can be retained for compatibility
> and marked deprecated at a later stage.
> WDYT?
