Description

I'm trying to print a pdf with PDFBox (version 2.0.28) which contains one page.
The pdf looks ok when I open it in Acrobat reader.

The code to print is the following:

PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(pdffile);
m_printjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
m_printjob.setPrintService(service);
m_printjob.setJobName(pdffile.getName());
m_printjob.setCopies(1);
Paper paper = m_printjob.defaultPage().getPaper(); //default page format of the printer
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, paper.getWidth(), paper.getHeight()); // no margins
PageFormat pageFormat = printjob.getPageFormat(null);
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
m_printjob.setPageable(...); //slightly altered PDFPageable to better suit our scaling/orientation needs.
PrintRequestAttributeSet attr = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
attr.add(Sides.ONE_SIDED);
m_printjob.print(attr); 

Result is:
