[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-2496) PNG filesize is larger
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2496?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14210175#comment-14210175 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
Simon, can you upload the PNG files too?
Yes, the parameters to PDFToImage have changed, i.e., {{-imageType}} is now {{-format}}. This was done to make PDFBox more consistent with other tools, and also Java's own terminology (in Java an image 'type' refers to the color model, e.g. int-packed ARGB, whereas an image 'format' refers to the file format on disk, e.g. PNG). However, please note that the old parameters are still supported - we didn't want to break existing shell scripts. Indeed, that's presumably why Tilman didn't know they'd changed.
