Hi, Can you help me figure out why some (especially recent) versions of PDFBox aren't rendering text nicely?
I'm running PDFBox in a web server environment to rasterize PDFs with text in them. However, I've found that in recent versions, I end up getting garbled text using the same code. Here you can see that this big cursive F has a weird break in it in the middle and all the curves aren't smooth which is really obvious when you compare this bad image (1.8.3) with the PDF or a good one (1.6.0). [image: Inline image 1] Here's what it's supposed to look like: [image: Inline image 2] What's weird is that I don't get the bad image when I use pdfbox-app.jar on the PDF - it's only with my code. Good versions: 1.6.0 (I'm on this now) 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT from approx 10/24/11 1.8.0-20130225.201137-98 Bad versions: 1.7.1 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT from approx 3/1/13 1.8.3 and many others in between I ended up downgrading to 1.6.0 because I had some issues with transparency on some of the good snapshots that were working, but I think the transparency issues are resolved on 1.8.3. Any idea what could cause this? Thanks! Jon
