Windows Printing with PDFBox using Java 1.5

Hi,

there are several cases where printing a PDF file using PDFBox with Java 1.5. fails whereas printing the same file using JAVA 1.6 works fine (e.g. raw.pdf in PDFBOX-667). I'm currently trying to get an understanding why that happens but I'm a little puzzled understanding the ColorMapping etc. in PDFBox. 

Some of the strange bits I get are (using raw.pdf):

using JAVA 1.5. this.getGraphicsState().getNonStrokingColor().getJavaColor()  from PageDrawer returns r0,g0,b1 where the same call using Java 1.6 returns r0,g0,b0
this.getGraphicsStates().size() from PageDrawer results  in a NPE
this.getColorSpaces().size() from PageDrawer results in a NPE

etc.

Maybe someone can help me understand how the color handling works.

JDK 1.5.0_22 seems no problem.
