Yes we convert it into vector graphics or raster graphics for printing. 1.8.*
used the java font API but this didn't work well enough so we do our own
rendering. There is a JIRA issue where Alexandr Scherbatiy, a (former oracle
java developer) guy pointed to some code modification in PDFBox itself to
revert it to the old behavior.

points to some code modification in PDFBox itself to revert it to the old
behavior. I don't remember which issue but his name was something with
"Alexander Sch..." and he also helped us fix a problem with hidpi screens in
PDFBOX-3665. (He has probably a second id).

> Key: PDFBOX-5466
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5466
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.0.24
> Reporter: Katja Sondermann
> Priority: Minor
>
> When printing a PDF to Pdf Printer, the resulting PDF is much larger than the
> original (e.g. 140 KB original vs 955 KB printed with PDFBox to a PDF
> printer), furthermore the text content of the original can no longer be
> selected in a viewer (e.g. Acrrobat Reader), content seems to be rendered as
> image.
>
> Is there a chance to solve this?
>
> The priting is called with the following code:
> int dpi = 600; // tested various values here, also 0
> PDDocument document = loadMyPdDocument();
> PDFPageable pdfPageable = new PDFPageable(document, Orientation.AUTO, false,
> dpi);
> PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().setPageable(pdfPageable);
