-------------------------------------
Hi Tilman
Sorry to pick your brain again. On the issue of intermittent blank page
printing; we are observing odd behavior in production,
For example
a) 12MB Doc.PDF, 2.3 GBs in spooler, Successfully Print.
b) 12 MB Doc.PDF on different printer; 12 MB in spooler, Failed Print
(prints intermittent blank pages).
c) 12 MB Doc.PDF on different printer; shows multiple files in spooler,
Failed Print (prints intermittent blank pages).
Based on the above, we are wondering
1. Does PDfBox set any parameters prior to sending to printer which vary
spooler sizes? OR It is printer setting which causes size variation?
2. Also, I am assuming that the PDFBox is printer-agnostic, means the
printable rendition is not created based on the printer to be used?

> Hello All:
> With respect to original thread
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3705
> Issue: Printer prints blank pages from the PDF. Pages which contains MS word
> tiling pattern are printed blank.
> Following are some observations:
> 1. In our environment, if spooling is enabled for the printer then all the
> pages are printed correctly with tiling pattern.
> 2. If "Print Direct to printer" option is selected then blank pages[Pages
> which contains tiling pattern] are printed.
> 3. PDF actual size is 12 MB
> A. Spooling Enabled: PDF is spooled to printer then size displayed is 2.12
> GB in print status dialog box .
> B.Spooling Disabled["Print Direct to printer" is enabled]: Then spool size is
> less than 5 MB and actual print copy contains blank pages.
> Selected Pages Print in Direct print Mode: When PDF files is separated using
> itext API, then selected pages which contains MS word pattern prints properly
> without any blank page.
> How the spooling affects PdfBox silent print process?
> Is there any recommended settings from PdfBox for the printers to print large
> documents?
