Hey all, I need to print PDFs to images to be forwarded to a low-resolution printer (200 dpi). Printing works (Yay!), and the ability to specify colour space and resolution helps immensely.
When reading the PDFs I get these error messages: VI 27, 2016 5:53:39 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType2Font getawtFont INFO: Can't read the embedded font AAAAAC+DejaVuSans-Bold VI 27, 2016 5:53:39 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType2Font getawtFont INFO: Using font DejaVu Sans Bold instead VI 27, 2016 5:53:39 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType2Font getawtFont INFO: Can't read the embedded font AAAAAD+DejaVuSans VI 27, 2016 5:53:39 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType2Font getawtFont INFO: Using font DejaVu Sans instead This looks like something I can live with (fonts being substituted), but I'm willing to work on that, since text is not Latin, and missing glyphs in system available fonts is a thing. However due to the low resolution, the fact that the printer is Black-And-White (not Gray-Scale!) much of the text becomes grainy and disconnected (thin parts of the letters missing), making the text extremely hard to read. Is there any way to make all fonts bold (or bold-er), so that the text (after being converted to black-and-white) would be easier to read when printed in low-resolution? I can not perform any post-rendering enhancements, because there are bar-codes in the printed content that become unreadable if smeared or thickened. I'm fixed to using PDFBox 1.8.1 (that's what's available in the project).
