[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-3673) Filled form fields appear gray instead of black

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3673?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15848942#comment-15848942 ] 

Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3673:
-----------------------------------------

[~msahyoun] in 2.0.2 there's q...Q around the old content stream, in 2.0.3 it isn't. Because of that the "0.898 g" is still active.

> Hi,
> I'm facing the following issue: When filling out an acrobat form and flattening it, the text color in the resulting pdf is gray instead of black.
> I attached the [^input.pdf] and several output files for different pdfbox versions. Using pdfbox 2.0.2, I get the expected result with black text, as from version >=2.0.3 the text is gray.
> Code:
> {code}
> public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
>     PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("input.pdf"));
>     PDAcroForm form = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
>     form.getField("Text1").setValue("value");
>     form.getField("Text2").setValue("value");
>     form.getField("Text3").setValue("value");
>     form.flatten();
>     doc.save("output.pdf");
> }
> {code}
> The default appearance for every text field is set to something like {{/Helv 0 Tf 0 g}}. Our current workaround is to replace {{0 g}} with {{0 0 0 rg}}. But in my understanding, they both should yield the same result.
> Thanks in advance.
