[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4815) Gray background preview becomes black squares

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4815?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17086032#comment-17086032 ]

Sadly this is a known java problem (I can't find the issue now). Java has to render the attached stencil image at a lower resolution but fails to smooth things out.

That is likely a scanned image with a gray background and the scanner produced a dither pattern.

> Hello, I have an issue with a PDF with gray background in some parts. This gray background becomes multiple black squares when trying to preview the document.
> Analyzing images extracted from the pdf, it appears the gray background is not a plain gray background but more a set of gray and black pixels.
> Is there a way to handle this kind of background  for the preview and have the same visual rendering than the pdf?
> Source code : 
> {code:java}
> @Test
> public void shouldPreview() throws IOException {
>     String source = "payslip.pdf";
>     String result = "preview.png";
>     try (InputStream buffered = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File(source)));
>          PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(buffered, MemoryUsageSetting.setupMixed( 500L * 1024L))) {
>         BufferedImage image = new PDFRenderer(doc).renderImageWithDPI(0, 300, ImageType.RGB);
>         ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File(result));
>     }
> }
> {code}
