John Hewson closed PDFBOX-3453.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Any problems you have setting PrintRequestAttributes are not related to PDFBox.
The processing of those attributes is done by Java and, more specifically the
Java printing interface for your system, and the print driver itself. Java
print drivers are notoriously bad.
All the PrintRequestAttributes comes __after__ PDFBox has handed the printing
data over to Java, so there's nothing we can do to help.
> PDFPrintable plus PrintRequestAttributeSet breaks page size
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-3453
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3453
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: Java 8 u77, MacOS 10.11
> Reporter: Tres Finocchiaro
> Priority: Critical
>
> On MacOS, when supplying custom attributes to the print interface, it has the
> reverse effect and ignores the attributes specified, including the page size.
> In the below example, the page size will default to US Letter (8.5 x 11)
> despite being specified as 4 x 6.
> A temporary workaround is to not specify any PrintRequestAttributes, downside
> being you lose the option for collation, copies, chromacity, print tray, etc.
> * This bug is NOT reproducible on Windows.
> * This bug is NOT reproducible on Mac when using a non-PDFBOX library to
> print.
> * This bug only occurs when using PDFBOX and MacOS and custom print
> attributes are supplied to the print job.
> {code}
> public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
> //test data
> Paper paper = new Paper();
> paper.setSize(4 * 72, 6 * 72); //4x6in
> paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, 4 * 72, 6 * 72);
> PageFormat pf = new PageFormat();
> pf.setPaper(paper);
> PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File(args[0]));
> Book book = new Book();
> book.append(new PDFPrintable(doc, Scaling.SCALE_TO_FIT, false, 0,
> false), pf);
> //No print attributes - Works
> PrinterJob jobPlain = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
> jobPlain.setPageable(book);
> jobPlain.print();
> //With print attributes - Fails, resets paper size to system default
> & attributes are ignored
> PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes = new
> HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
> attributes.add(Chromaticity.MONOCHROME);
> PrinterJob jobAttr = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
> jobAttr.setPageable(book);
> jobAttr.print(attributes);
> }
> {code}
