PDFs created on MacOS and Calibri font
When I try to create images from an PDF which was created from an
PowerPoint presentation on MacOS with the font Calibri the resulting
image is showing an '8', 'G' or 'K' in certain words.
It also doesn't matter if I use the save as PDF option in PowerPoint or
via Adobe Acrobat plug-in (in both cases it the PDF meta data states
created with 'Quartz PDFContext')
Some examples:
commenting becomes commen8ng
noticed becomes no8ced
Competitive becomes Compe88ve
still becomes st8l
So it looks like it is the 'ti' ligature creates the rendering problem.
Also the 'tt' ligature makes problems. If a text contains both ligatures
still becomes sGll
flatten becomes flaKen
This seams to be a problem with all Calibri Fonts e.g. Calibri, Calibri
(Heading), Calibri (Body) and Calibri Light
Also Calibri Light used other replacements.
Another issue: is the kerning looks wrong.
Since Calibri is the default Microsoft Office font it is use quite often.
Does anybody know a way to work around this?
Thanks,
Alexander

no - it's not. The examples package as well as the unit tests should give you a good overview. We are also looking to enhance our documentation so if you need specific samples maybe we could include them as part of the documentation.

Hi,
yes the latest snapshot renders the images fine.
What is the status of version 2?
Beside for image creation I only use PDFBox for page rotation and
outline reading.
Is it API compatible to 1.8.8?
Thanks,
Alexander

Hi,
could you give the latest snapshot a try - that has a better rendering. The easiest would be to try with the pdfbox-app from
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/ <https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/>
using the PDFToImage command.

Sure,
the sample PDF also contains some other Font but they render mostly fine
(besides the kerning for Times New Roman but that is still readable)
