Component/s: Writing
> RFC: Integration of Graphics2D->PDFBox bridge
> ---------------------------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-3697
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3697
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Writing
> Reporter: Emmeran Seehuber
> Priority: Minor

> I've build a Graphics2D -> PDFBox bridge. It allows you to draw using
> Graphics2D into a PDF. iText has such a feature for a long time now. In
> PDFBOX-102 it seems you don't want such a feature, or at least don't want to
> implement it. I hope I must not explain why drawing to an image and placing
> that image in the PDF is *not* the right solution. Depending on the output
> device this may result in horrible quality.
> As I want to migrate my usages of flying-saucer to openhtmltopdf
> (https://github.com/danfickle/openhtmltopdf) I need a way to embed report
> graphs in high quality into the PDF. Because of this I build this bridge:
> https://github.com/rototor/pdfbox-graphics2d
> The bridge is build from ground up by myself. I did not use any code of the
> iText-Graphics2D bridge.
> Currently it can render text only as vector shapes. But it supports different
> gradient paints and texture paints. openhtmltopdf uses it to draw inline SVGs.
> I would like to contribute this bridge to PDFBox, as I think this is a
> feature PDFBox currently lacks. But I am not sure if you want this at all.
> The bridge uses reflection to access e.g. the Batik gradient paints without
> referencing Batik. The paint mapping is something which can never be really
> finished, as they can be many paint implementations. Because of this the
> bridge allows to customize all different kind of mappings (color/paint/font).
> I don't know if it is better to keep this bridge separate or if it is better
> to integrate it into PDFBox. This is something I would like you to decide. If
> you would like it, I would prepare a patch.
