Change in image quality between versions 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 (also applies to 2.0.6)

Hello.


I have noticed with PDFDebugger that the same pdf is rendered differently by pdfbox-2.0.4 and by pdfbox-2.0.5 (pdfbox-2.0.6 produces the same output than pdfbox-2.0.5): the newer versions generate a more pixelated image.


Please find attached a sample pdf and two screenshots of PDFDebugger in version 2.0.4 and in version 2.0.5 (also applies for version 2.0.6).


The old approach is better for our pourposes. Is there a way to revert to the old rendering?

Yes, 96 dpi here.

Ok, now I can confirm it. You wrote "PDFDebugger" in your first post,
but you meant PDFToImage. It does happen as described. The images are
created with 120 dpi here, probably 96 dpi on your system.

I have no idea why, but I'll investigate it and come back to you.

Re: Change in image quality between versions 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 (also applies to 2.0.6)

Posted by Esteban R <er...@hotmail.com>.
Great! I have tried with pdfbox-app-2.0.7-20170615.210220-70.jar and it generates the same output than pdfbox-app-2.0.3.jar.

Aaaaarghhhhhh!!!!!

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3523

see near the bottom:

Commit 1763621 from Tilman Hausherr
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=tilman> in
branch 'pdfbox/branches/2.0'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1763621 ]

PDFBOX-3523 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3523>: disable
high quality interpolation if image is scaled up by ctm AND xform
(temporary commit)



I then waited for feedback of the user who wrote "Alright, I will try it
again, probably, tomorrow", and never got it, and forgot to revert the
change that you're complaining about (rightfully!).

I have reverted the change, and will think whether to make it
configurable, or just do nothing.

A snapshot is available here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.7-SNAPSHOT/
it is  at the bottom of the page, the number must be 70 or higher.

Re: Change in image quality between versions 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 (also applies to 2.0.6)

Posted by Tilman Hausherr <TH...@t-online.de>.
Aaaaarghhhhhh!!!!!

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3523

see near the bottom:

Commit 1763621 from Tilman Hausherr 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=tilman> in 
branch 'pdfbox/branches/2.0'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1763621 ]

PDFBOX-3523 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3523>: disable 
high quality interpolation if image is scaled up by ctm AND xform 
(temporary commit)



I then waited for feedback of the user who wrote "Alright, I will try it 
again, probably, tomorrow", and never got it, and forgot to revert the 
change that you're complaining about (rightfully!).

I have reverted the change, and will think whether to make it 
configurable, or just do nothing.

A snapshot is available here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.7-SNAPSHOT/
it is  at the bottom of the page, the number must be 70 or higher.

Re: Change in image quality between versions 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 (also applies to 2.0.6)

Posted by Tilman Hausherr <TH...@t-online.de>.
Ok, now I can confirm it. You wrote "PDFDebugger" in your first post, 
but you meant PDFToImage. It does happen as described. The images are 
created with 120 dpi here, probably 96 dpi on your system.

I have no idea why, but I'll investigate it and come back to you.

Re: Change in image quality between versions 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 (also applies to 2.0.6)

Posted by Esteban R <er...@hotmail.com>.
This is what I do (windows 10 environment, java 1.8.0_121). I can upgrade java if needed.


C:\temp>java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.3.jar PDFToImage out.pdf

C:\temp>dir out1.jpg

C:\temp>java -version

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)


In my case out1.jpg has a different size (4.107 vs 4.286). If you compare visually the output, files are almost the same, the difference is visible when you zoom in.

My screen should be at 100% (how can I check?).

Re: Change in image quality between versions 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 (also applies to 2.0.6)

Posted by Esteban R <er...@hotmail.com>.
I'm sorry. I was not using exactly pdfbox-app-2.0.4.jar but pdfbox-app-2.0.4-20160925.091907-39.jar (maybe a snapshot build?). I'm not sure where did I get that version. I have tryied with pdfbox-app-2.0.4.jar and the output is the same than in version 2.0.6.


So, I tried again with pdfbox-app-2.0.3.jar (downloaded from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.3) and It produces the same output than pdfbox-app-2.0.4-20160925.091907-39.jar (so the change is between versions 2.0.3 and 2.0.4).

Thanks... disregard my theory about PDFBOX-1958. But I am not able to
reproduce the effect with jdk8. With jdk9 there is an effect but it
looks better for me (my screen is on 125%).

The PDFToImage results are identical.

What jdk are you using? What OS, and do you have a screen that is not
set at 100% ?

Thanks... disregard my theory about PDFBOX-1958. But I am not able to 
reproduce the effect with jdk8. With jdk9 there is an effect but it 
looks better for me (my screen is on 125%).

The PDFToImage results are identical.

What jdk are you using? What OS, and do you have a screen that is not 
set at 100% ?

By using 2.0.4, obviously. Alternatively build from source code a 2.0.6
version, and try to revert the commit mentioned in the issue above. It
is possible because the change did not touch very much.

But I'd still be interested in seeing your PDF.
