[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4740) PDFPrintable is creating incomplete/odd output for some printers

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4740?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17016531#comment-17016531 ]

What jdk version are you using? I failed to reproduce it with jdk1.8.0_202 on W10 with Microsoft print to PDF, but I only tested with PDFDebugger while changing one line so that PDFPrintable was used. I might retest with your code when I have more time.

> We are printing PDF documents using the class "PDFPrintable", which is working fine for most documents and printers.
> Except we found a case where the bounding box of an image is seemingly clipping the contents of a following page in the printouts of certain documents:
> !image-2020-01-15-15-01-32-976.png!
> (The whole cropbox of the second page should have been painted red - compare attached document)
> The following code can be used to reproduce the issue:
> {code:java}
> private static void print(PDDocument document, String printerName) throws PrinterException {
>     PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
>     PrintService printService = null;
>     // loop through all printers
>     for (PrintService deviceInterface : PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices()) {
>         // get printer name
>         String name = deviceInterface.getName();
>         // is this the requested printer?
>         if (name != null && name.equals(printerName)) {
>             // configure print job for the printer
>             printService = deviceInterface;
>             break;
>         }
>     }
>     if (printService == null) {
>         return;
>     }
>     printerJob.setPrintService(printService);
>     // set source and execute print job.
>     printerJob.setPrintable(
>         new PDFPrintable(
>             document, null, false, 0, true
>         )
>     );
>     // init print attribute set.
>     PrintRequestAttributeSet printAttrSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
>     printAttrSet.add(new JobName(printerName + "_job", Locale.ENGLISH));
>     printAttrSet.add(PrintQuality.HIGH);
>     // do print.
>     printerJob.print(printAttrSet);
> }
> {code}
> The attached document is leading to the erroneous results, when printed via the given method. (and using the following printers)
> Some printers, which show this odd behaviour are:
>  - "Adobe PDF" printer (most likely the easiest way to reproduce this issue)
>  - Konica Minolta C658
>  - Kyocera FS-4100DN
> We are suspecting, an compatibility issue of PCL based printer drivers and some instructions created by PDFBox.
> This behaviour can only then be seen for the following page, if it does contain certain operations. (Such as Shaders => as demonstrated in the example document)
