Dear PDFBox Developers/Contributors I am unable to subscribe to users mailing list as the link tries to open Outlook not the page to subscribe, hence a seperate mail on similar/same issue discussed.
Issue: ------- PDFBox2.0.0-RC1 is very slow in printinng ( taking 35 to 50 seconds ) as it tries to load fonts each time with the following message WARNING: New fonts found, font cache will be re-built Nov 12, 2015 3:17:26 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FileSystemFontProvider <init> WARNING: Building font cache, this may take a while Nov 12, 2015 3:17:32 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FileSystemFontProvider saveCache WARNING: Finished building font cache, found 522 fonts Is the fix or patch available to avoid slow performance due to above ( rebuilding font cache every tme ) ? If the fix not available in 2.0.0-RC1, Is there any way to fix alignment issue in PDFBox 1.8.10? as 1.8.10 left margin is too low and first few characters are found cut in printout. With PDFBox1.8.10, there is no performance issue, but alignment in prontout is not proper. With PDFBox 2.0.0-RC1, we are facing performance issue. PDFDocument used has Ariel Unicode or True Type Fonts. Similar discussion thread is pasted below, as I was unable to reply to same discussion thread, nor able to subscribe to users mailing list, hence a seperate mail.

It’s apparently related to administrator ownership of that registry key’s parent node. Looks like it’ll be necessary to log in as admin and create that key with user access. I guess that’s far from ideal? The whole issue also happens on MacOSX. When you introduce this on-disk cache a couple of months back, it worked fine, however one of the recent changes to SVN must have wrecked the initially intended functionality. Not only is the font caching setup 5-10 times as long as it used to be, it also does not seem to persist it anymore.

Unfortunately, SVN does not provide the handy tool of "git bisect" to quickly find out which change actually caused this regression. There were only 4 changes since then, so it might be worth a try to just revert that file. (I can't help; for me, it has always been slow.) Could it be that 1) you installed new stuff on your computer, 2) that MacOS has many of its fonts in .ttc files? In Windows there are only 10. on my OS X I have 92 ttc files (out of 384) :-) Yep, OS X uses ttc much more heavily than Windows and some of those are big Asian fonts which PDFBox parses relatively slowly. — John BR Maruan Tilman Let me know if you need any further input.
