Dear PDFBox team
Thanks for your response to below query.
I set the Java property value pdfbox.fontcache to JDK lib directory where fonts
are ther ( D:\\Softwares\\Java\\jre7\\lib\\fonts ).
I set the java property within the code before PDFBox API calls using
System.setProperty("pdfbox.fontcache", "D:\\Softwares\\Java\\jre7\\lib\\fonts")
;
First time execution it took 140sec and created the cache file .pdfbox in the
given directory
Subsequent time it took same 24 to 60 secs and no improvement in performance.
The difference noticed was, earlier .pdfbox file was created in user.home
directory, now given directory but on performance side no noticable difference.
My OS is MS Windows 7 home basic, since the user id has admin privilage, did
not have admin issue.
In another machine/work machine with admin user id/prvilage, PDFBox could
create font cache, but the performance was slow ( 30 sec + )
We use only Ariel and Time New Roman.
If the default font is chosen as Ariel in 1.8.10 code, that should be fine as
1.8.10 has performance, but fonts are lighter.
Alternatively if 2.0.0 is optimized for performance, that will be great.
FYI
PDF file ( redireting the print to MS XPS Printer type file ), the size of PDF
file generated in 1.8.10 is about 151 KB, whereas the size of PDF file created
using 2.0 is 1152 KB ( about 10 times larger ).
It job.print() which takes lot of time. Time profile output below
System.getproperty of pdfbox.fontcache = D:\Softwares\Java\jre7\lib\fonts
System.getproperty of user.home = C:\Users\Rangarajan

Dear PDFBox Developers/Contributors
Thanks for reply, I tested with latest SNAPSHOT builds
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/preflight-app/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/
------> build 1823
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/
---------> build 1800 and 1801
Font cache rebuild is not happening every time and it is able to use from
local store, however build 1800 & 1801 requires Admin privilage.
Compared to PDFBox version 1.8.10, 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT builds performance is slow
( 1.8.10 about 13 seconds, but 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT 1800, 1801 takes 30 seconds. )
Measured the time difference between 1.8.10 and 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT builds with
following code
Getting 13 to 19 seconds in 1.8.10, whereas in 2.0.0SNAPSHOT builds 22 to 36
seconds
long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis() ;
pdDocument = PDDocument.load(is);
long t2 = System.currentTimeMillis() ;
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(pdDocument)); // Version
2.0.0 SNAPSHOT builds
//job.setPageable(new PDPageable(pdDocument)); //
Version 1.8.10
job.print();
long t3 = System.currentTimeMillis() ;
//printWithPaper(pdDocument, "A4") ;
System.out.println ( " PDDocument load time = " +
String.valueOf(t2 - t1) + " Printing Time = "
+ String.valueOf(t3-t2 ) +
" Total time = " + String.valueOf( (t3 -
t1)/1000.0 ) + " seconds " ) ;
Do we have
Performance fix available in 2.0.0 SNAPSHOTS, if so please give full path and
which build?
Is there a fix available where Admin privelage is not required?
Thanks a lot for your reply in advance.
FYI
----
Alignment issue is still there in 2.0.0 and my attempt to adjust alignment
using below code takes lot of time.
PageFormat pageFormat = new PageFormat();
pageFormat.setOrientation(PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
Paper paper= pageFormat.getPaper();
if ("SLEEK".equalsIgnoreCase(receiptType)) {
paperWidth = 3.14;
paperHeight = 50;
} else if ("LETTER".equalsIgnoreCase(receiptType)) {
paperWidth = 8.5;
paperHeight = 11;
} else if ("LEGAL".equalsIgnoreCase(receiptType)) {
paperWidth = 8.5;
paperHeight = 14;
}
else
{
paperWidth = 8.3;
paperHeight = 11.7;
}
paper.setSize(paperWidth * 72.0, paperHeight * 72.0);
paper.setImageableArea(-2000, 0, paper.getWidth(), paper.getHeight());
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(document));ÿ
ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿ Book book = new Book();ÿ
book.append(new PDFPrintable(document), getPageFormat(receiptType) ,
document.getNumberOfPages());ÿ
job.setPageable(book);ÿ
job.print();

Subject: Re: Speedup Font Cache: Performance Issue in PDFBox 2.0.0-RC1
Dear PDFBox Community
Adding Commits, John and Tilman in the mail request
Details are in below mail.
In brief again
In our system, PDF files generated in server and is sent to client and in
client applet code uses PDFBox to print.
With PDFBox 1.8.10, we have alignment issue as some characters were missing on
left side.
With PDFBox 2.0.0-RC1, we have faced performance issue ( slow )
Do we have fix or patch availableÿ
either in 2.0.0-RC1 for performance ÿOR
alignment issue in 1.8.10
Our PDF documents uses True Type Fonts, mostly Ariel Unicode
Thanks a lot for your help and support.

Subject: Speedup Font Cache: Performance Issue in PDFBox 2.0.0-RC1
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:
-------ÿ
PDFBox2.0.0-RC1 is very slow in printinng ( taking 35 to 50 seconds ) ÿas 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 ÿevery tme ) ?ÿ
If the fix not available in 2.0.0-RC1,ÿIs 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. ÿÿ
With PDFBox 2.0.0-RC1, we are facing performance issue.
PDFDocument used has Ariel ÿUnicode or True Type Fonts.ÿ
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.

Yes, I’m able to replicate that issue on Windows. It’s apparently

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

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. Version used:

This used to be anything between 1200ms and 2300ms and once it was
persisted onto disk, it was rather fast in subsequent calls. 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.
