Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-52:
---------------------------------------
My fix was needed because the DCT image wasn't decoded since 2005. The fix
decodes the image. The previous code did call the DCT filter for DCT encoded
images and got an exception that it is not implemented. The new code uses the
JPX filter instead, which is nothing more than a call to java imageio. It ran
on my system for 2 months. Your theory is a rather philosophical one. Or
rather, it is an opinion.
This discussion is going into a bad direction. One that feels like wikipedia.
With potentially endless discussions (that keeps me from writing and testing
code) and the result depends on who has more time. I don't have a personal
interest in that change because I use the 2.0 version. I did it for the user
who didn't understand that the 1.8 version didn't have DCT.
