Interesting. At first glance that looks like a problem in PdfBox. (The library that is used to read and render the PDF documents. We upgraded from 2.0.15 to 2.0.18. Could you check out the current version of PdfCompare from Github, replace the PdfBox version 2.0.18 with version 2.0.15 in the pom.xml and try that locally?

Or alternatively give me a PDF file that shows the problem?

Hello sorry i was busy yesterday. I checked out the project and changed the pdfbox version to 2.0.15 and can confirm that it now works correctly.

Maybe you could file a ticket for PdfBox? And send them a Pdf that shows the problem? https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/PDFBOX

Since it's a problem in PdfBox I will close this ticket here... @rsilva2 Did you file a bug with PdfBox? Could you add a link to it here?
