Petr Slaby commented on PDFBOX-4627:
------------------------------------

We use PDFBox to render PDFs. For our customers, Adobe Reader is the only 
source of truth. Even if I managed to convince them that the given PDF is not 
correct according to the specification, they will not be able to change it. The 
PDFs most usually come from a source they do not have an influence on.

I think the argument "but it renders with Adobe Reader" is a valid one. I agree 
that it is not possible to be 100% compatible with Adobe reader, but PDBox 
should try to head in this direction - much rather than attempting to be 100% 
compatible with the norm and trying to punish you for every mistake a PDF 
writer software has made. 

> Wrong color of uncolored tiling pattern

>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Rendering
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.16
>            Reporter: Jiri Kunhart
>            Priority: Major
>         Attachments: after_fix.png, before_fix.png, 
> uncolored_tiling_pattern.patch, uncolored_tiling_pattern.pdf

> The attached pdf file with uncolored tiling pattern is rendered wrongly (see 
> "before_fix.png"). The problem is that pattern stream contains
> /DevGrayCS cs
> which overwrites PDPattern color space stored in 
> PDGraphicsState#nonStrokingColor. I did a small fix which ignores all 
> settings of color space inside of uncolored tiling pattern stream and the 
> result seems to be good (see "after_fix.png").
> Note: the pattern in the png file looks diferently than in the original pdf 
> file, but this should be handled probably in the other issue.
