I speak only for myself as a project member, but I think it is rather beyond the scope. It would require a new graphics engine. And there are so many other things to do where there are issues, e.g. annotations rendering, OCG / Structure tree merging, JPX decoder, PDF 2.0, signature code, ..... No user ever requested these advanced features, I know about them because of the video and because I collect all test files I can get.

Thanks for the information. Is this advanced rendering functionality
something that is beyond the scope/mission of pdfbox, or is it likely to be
in a future release?

Hi,
We can do many of them but not those that are very advanced (some
transparencies, CMYK blending).
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiqDqd-1pwU why this is so tricky.

Just to clarify, the video isn't by us, but by a company that can do all
these things. But it won't be free.

Hi,

I'm trying to produce PNGs of PDF pages in my application, and a
requirement is that the solution can successfully handle the Ghent
workgroup test PDFs. I'm using PDF Box 2.0.8 and it results are not
looking
good.

I'm using the code below to generate the PNGs









PDDocument pdDocument = PDDocument.load(new
File("Ghent_PDF_Output_Suite_V50/Ghent_PDF-Output-Test-V50_ALL_X4.pdf"));

PDFRenderer renderer = new PDFRenderer(pdDocument);
BufferedImage image = renderer.renderImageWithDPI(0, 300, ImageType.RGB);
if (!ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", new FileOutputStream("temp/test.png")))
{
      throw new Exception("Failed to write image '" + image + "'");
}

Does anyone know if it's possible to get PdfBox to handle these PDFs
properly?

Thanks,
Leon
