PDF files are corrupted

[eseifert]

PDF support "appears" to be broken. No image is being rendered in a PDF reader, and I suspect (due the tiny file size) that no data is actually being written.

The above seems to be an example?

Tested with Adobe Reader 10.

The file can be opnened successfully with Okular (Linux/KDE) and PDF-Xchange Viewer (Windows). Only Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat have problems opening the PDF files. This has to be checked.

Confirmed.
PDFs are viewable in "PDF-Xchange Viewer" but are not readable by "Adobe Reader X".

r39 fixes this problem; Tested with Acrobat Reader 9.3

PDFs are now viewable in "PDF-Xchange Viewer" without errors.

"Adobe Reader X" will successfully open and read the document, however, it will also report:

"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

Tested with r41.

This was a regression introduced with r41. Should be fixed in r42 (tested with Adobe Reader 9.3).

Fix confirmed with r43.

Thank you!

Sorry! Re-opening this again.

When generating a PDF that contains text (drawString()), the PDF is unable to be opened by Adobe Reader.

The PDF can however be opened with Xchange Viewer, though the text will not be present.

Version r43.

Yes, i can confirm this. This bug should be fixed by r44 as well as several other issues with drawString(). I tested example output files with Adobe Reader 9.3'', ''Adobe Acrobat 9'', and ''PDF-Xchange Viewer.

Text can optionally be rendered as vectors as a possible workaround for further issues:

g.setFontRendering(VectorGraphics2D.FontRendering.VECTORS);
