Hi,

yes the latest snapshot renders the images fine.

What is the status of version 2?

it's still in development but we are looking to have a release candidate later 
this month/early April.

Beside for image creation I only use PDFBox for page rotation and outline 
reading.
Is it API compatible to 1.8.8?

no - it's not. The examples package as well as the unit tests should give you a 
good overview. We are also looking to enhance our documentation so if you need 
specific samples maybe we could include them as part of the documentation.



Thanks,
Alexander

Hi,

could you give the latest snapshot a try - that has a better rendering. The 
easiest would be to try with the pdfbox-app from

https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/
 
<https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/>

using the PDFToImage command.

Sure,

the sample PDF also contains some other Font but they render mostly fine 
(besides the kerning for Times New Roman but that is still readable)

Here the image results:

for completeness the other pages from the PDF

Hi,

could you post a sample file to a public location to take a closer look at the 
PDF?

When I try to create images from an PDF which was created from an PowerPoint 
presentation on MacOS with the font Calibri the resulting image is showing an 
'8', 'G' or 'K' in certain words.

It also doesn't matter if I use the save as PDF option in PowerPoint or via 
Adobe Acrobat plug-in (in both cases it the PDF meta data states created with 
'Quartz PDFContext')

Some examples:
commenting becomes commen8ng
noticed becomes no8ced
Competitive becomes Compe88ve
still becomes st8l

So it looks like it is the 'ti' ligature creates the rendering problem.

Also the 'tt' ligature makes problems. If a text contains both ligatures
still becomes sGll
flatten becomes flaKen

This seams to be a problem with all Calibri Fonts e.g. Calibri, Calibri 
(Heading), Calibri (Body) and Calibri Light

Also Calibri Light used other replacements.
Another issue: is the kerning looks wrong.

Since Calibri is the default Microsoft Office font it is use quite often.
Does anybody know a way to work around this?

Thanks,
Alexander
