we are currently in the evaluating the capabilities of Aspose.Pdf for Java compared to the .Net version.
So far, everything looks good.
But when it comes to printing out the PDF, we recognized differences in the quality of the font.
In .Net the font looks fine and as expected, while using the printing in Aspose.Words java, the font letters become pixelated.
Please find attached the pdf file used as well as both resulting Postscript files.
