[jira] [Updated] (PDFBOX-5967) Printed barcodes are fuzzy on macOS only
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5967?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Tres Finocchiaro updated PDFBOX-5967:
-------------------------------------
Description:
The attached PDF prints well on Windows and Linux, but on macOS the barcodes are fuzzy and unscannable.
* I understand that this may be a result of something happening at the OS-level. If this is the case, any guidance as to how to isolate and provide a bug report for openjdk is greatly appreciated.
* If there's a workaround that can be used as a stop-gap leveraging the PDFBOX API, that would also be greatly appreciated.
*PDFBOX 3.0:*
{{java -jar ~/Downloads/pdfbox-app-2.0.33.jar PrintPDF ~/Downloads/pb_usps_sample.pdf -mediaSize=4x6}}
*PDFBOX 2.0:*
{{java -jar ~/Downloads/pdfbox-app-2.0.33.jar PrintPDF ~/Downloads/pb_usps_sample.pdf}}
