Hi,

Betreff: Request for Help: Lines not showing in PrintPDF print-out (Table 
borders and SVG figures)
Gesendet: Mi, 31. Mrz 2010

> Good evening!
> 
> I am generating a single-page PDF file via XSLT/FOP, consisting of multiple
> tables of varying complexity and consisting of several figures created via
> SVG primitives (rect, path, text) in the used stylesheet.
> 
> After generating and exporting the document to the file system, I want to
> print it programmatically via PDFBox's PrintPDF class. This succeeds
> apparently, but the resulting print-out lacks _all_ of the lines in the
> document: all table borders (of various sizes) are missing, and all figures
> are missing too (a large diagram and several small symbols within the text).
> All texts are printed correctly, except for the heading of the document,
> which is written in a bold and bigger font.
> 
> This problem occurs on every printer at my disposal (two physical laser
> printers and one virtual pdf printer). The problem does not occur when
> opening and/or printing the originally exported document via Adobe Reader -
> the document shows and prints perfectly.
> The problem is always reproducible. I am using the (as of now) latest PDFBox
> version 1.1.0  on a JDK 1.5.0u18 on Windows XP Professional SP3.
> 
> When converting the pdf with PDFBox's PDFToImage class, the problem becomes
> smaller, but persists nonetheless: the resulting JPG lacks a good third of
> the table borders, but shows all of the SVG-based lines correctly.
> 
> I searched the bug tracker and the mailinglist archives but could not find a
> recent matching discussion or tracker item. PDFBox seems to have had
> problems with table borders already (I remember reading about line styles
> and weights not being rendered correctly), but all of those seem to date
> back to version numbers around version 0.8.
> 
> I would be most grateful if anyone on this list could point me towards a
> solution if such a solution exists for PDFBox. If a developer classifies my
> report as a potential bug in PDFBox, I would be happy to provide instances
> of the original PDF, a pdf copy of the resulting print-out and a sample of
> the image resulting from the PDFToImage-invocation directly to the developer
> as I don't want to spam the list with large attachments. I'll be happy to
> answer any further questions regarding this issue as well.
Please file an issue on JIRA [1] with the above text as description and attach 
all mentioned samples.
