> I have a process that needs to convert pages of pdf files to images to be able to detect barcodes.
> Since I've upgrade to pdfbox 2.0 my barcodes are not correctly detected anymore.
> I noticed the cause was the result of the page to image rendering implemented in pdfbox 2.0.
> The quality of the image is really poor compared to pdfbox 1.8.
> See the attached image (comparison.png):
> On the left you have the image generated with pdfbox 2.0.13
> On the right you have the image generated with pdfbox 1.8.16
> We can clearly see the difference.
> Both images were generated using the same resolution (200 dpi here):
> For 2.0.13:
> {code:java}
> BufferedImage image = pdfRenderer.renderImageWithDPI(0, 200, ImageType.BINARY);{code}
> For 1.8.16:
> {code:java}
> PDPage page = (PDPage) pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages().get(0);
> BufferedImage image = page.convertToImage(BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, 200);{code}
> Buffered images were both written to files using:
> {code:java}
> ImageIO.write(image, "png", file);    {code}
> I've attached the pdf file (barcode-128.pdf) and the generated images (barcode-image-2.0.13.png and barcode-image.1.8.16.png)
