John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-1963:
-------------------------------------
Tilman, regarding imageType:
{quote}
Now that the dpi is back, now please put back the image type.
{quote}
This kind of unconstructive "who moved my cheese?" thinking does not help. The
problem we are tying to solve and the previous mechanism why which it was
solved are two separate things.
{quote}
Alternatively implement this:
{quote}
{code}
public BufferedImage renderBitonalImage(int pageIndex, int dpi)
{code}
which creates an image of type BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY and passes its
graphics context to renderPage(). It should have the same functionality as
"renderImage(int pageIndex, float scale, boolean useAlpha)" except for the
imagetype.
> PDFImageWriter doesn't make use of PDFStreamEngine

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1963
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: John Hewson
> Assignee: John Hewson
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> PDFImageWriter is a subclass of PDFStreamEngine, however it never uses any of
> its functionality, the writeImage methods could be marked as static and
> behave in the same manner.
> The relationship between PDFImageWriter, RenderUtil, and ImageIOUtil no
> longer matches its historical origins and needs to be refactored.
