PDFBox on Mac critical error when silent printing

I have been experimenting with bumping my applications dependency on PDFBox to the 2.0.0 snapshot. I'm having some major issues with it though...

So my code recieves a PDF as a BASE64 String, i decode it, and load the resulting bytearray into a PDDocument. Before I bumped the version number, calling .silentPrint();on the PDDocument worked like a charm.

The implementation of silent printing changed in 2.0.0, and I now do it this way:

private Status doPdfPrint(Document document, PrintService printService) {
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = null;
    PDDocument doc = null;
    PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();

    try {
        printerJob.setPrintService(printService);
        bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(document.getDecodedData());

        doc = PDDocument.load(bais, true); //Force load

        PDFPrinter pdfPrinter = new PDFPrinter(doc);
        pdfPrinter.silentPrint(printerJob);

        doc.close();
        bais.close();
    } catch (IOException | PrinterException e) {
        log.warn("Failed to print! Exception occurred: {}", e.getMessage());
        log.debug("EXCEPTION", e);
        return Status.PRINTING_FAILED;
    } finally {
        IOUtils.closeQuietly(bais);
        IOUtils.closeQuietly(doc);
    }
    return Status.PRINTING_OK;
}

However, when running this on OSX Yosemite, this results in:

Any idea what's going on? Regards

So I'm posting here 2 years after this occured for the first time..

It's still occuring. However, it's a Java bug, rather then a PDFBox bug. So after filing my bugreport on PDFBox issue-tracker, I got the advice to set a DPI for the document when doing printing. And voila it works. However, it's nearly impossible to figure out the DPI of a pdf document.

However, if you know what the DPI is, you can simply do this:

final int rasterizedDpi = 203;
final PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(data);
final PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
final PDFPageable pageable = new PDFPageable(pdfDocument, Orientation.AUTO, false, rasterizedDpi);
job.setPageable(pageable);
job.print();

The hint here is the 4th argument to PDFPageable, the dpi...

Until Oracle fixes this JDK bug, i guess we're going to have to call this method :)
