[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-4516) PDFBox text and images are blurry
even after rendering with high DPI
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4516?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17154747#comment-17154747 ]
Nathan Broadbent commented on PDFBOX-4516:
------------------------------------------
Hello, I have recently updated to PDFBox version 2.0.20. I think this change might be causing problems with PDFToImage, because any embedded images in the PDF are now very blurry in the rendered PDF. (It might be related to a different change, but this one seems likely.)
My application has some test cases where I render a PDF as an image and then check for any differences between the generated and expected images. After updating to PDFBox 2.0.20, the PDFToImage command is causing a diff like this:
!image-2020-07-10-01-23-14-017.png|width=453,height=202!
Here is the expected image that was generated with the PDFToImage CLI command in an earlier release (I think this was 2.0.19):
!image-2020-07-10-01-25-16-775.png|width=558,height=285!
PDFToImage from 2.0.20:
!image-2020-07-10-01-25-58-717.png|width=605,height=264! \
If you zoom in, you can see that the image quality of the nested cat picture and signature is much worse than in the previous version. (The PDF has not changed.)
Is this a bug, or is there a new option I can use for PDFToImage?
