Tres Finocchiaro commented on PDFBOX-4380:
------------------------------------------

Thanks.  I'm still not sure what changes are needed for this document to be 
printed properly.  The author of the PDF is using Python's weasyprint library 
for generation and I'd like to point them in the right direction.

 

I've tried:
 * Removing BBox and BleedBox sections with Transparency in them - Corrupts the 
PDF
 * Removing the /Transparency tag - Corrupts the PDF
 * From original bug report, tried manipulating the Group name which didn't fix 
it.

If I were to explain to this content creator in layman's terms what's wrong 
with this PDF, how would I word it?  Will simply removing the image he's using 
fix it?  I don't see one at all visually in the document and when I open the 
PDF using PDFDebugger, I don't know which node of this PDF is causing the issue.

> Near identical symptoms to PDFBOX-4123, but only on Windows.
> [This PDF|https://github.com/qzind/tray/files/2587736/AWB_BM82266397503.pdf] 
> will only print rasterized.  It looks fine in Adobe Reader, but once printed 
> using PDFBOX, it will always print rasterized.
> PDF was created using Python weasyprint.
> Like PDFBOX-4123, I found a Transparency block inspecting the PDF raw 
> contents. However the workaround provided in PDFBOX-4123 does not remedy the 
> situation. Furthermore, the behavior is inconsistent between macOS and 
> Windows.
>  * Windows testing was performed using Java 8u191 and PDFCreator.  Same 
> behavior with Microsoft Print to PDF.
>  * macOS testing was performed using Java 8u181 and Lisanet PDFwriter.
>  Attachments:
>  * Screen Shot 2018-11-15 at 9.30.16 PM.png - Actual results
>  * Screen Shot 2018-11-15 at 9.30.32 PM.png - Desired results
