------------------------------------------
[~tilman] thanks for the sanity check. I'll report to OpenJDK and see what
they say.
> Barcode fuzzy/blurry printed with macOS
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-6269
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6269
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.37, 3.0.8 PDFBox
> Environment: macOS 26.3, PDFBOX 3.0.x, Java 25
> Reporter: Tres Finocchiaro
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: USPS_STRIPPED.pdf
>
>
> Similar to PDFBOX-4435, the attached PDF prints with a blurry barcode.
> The PDF is a 4x6 USPS shipping label that – when printed – must be scannable
> by a barcode reader. If the barcode is blurry it makes it difficult to scan.
> The printer is generally 203 DPI, so small artifacts that may go unnoticed
> on consumer printers can be much dire on a 203 DPI industrial printer.
> * Tests are performed on macOS 26.3 with Java 11 and Java 25. PDFBOX 2.x
> and 3.x.
> * Issue was originally reported on a Zebra Label printer however the
> "blurring" of the barcode is reproducible with a virtual PDF printer.
> * Attempts to set rendering hints to nearest-neighbor don't seem to rememdy
> this.
> * To make sure this isn't a duplicate of PDFBOX-5971, I also tested the PDF
> against this OpenJDK patch [https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8251928] to
> no avail.
