I doubt it. We haven't changed anything at all in our presentation of
Cairo or the GdkPixbuf loaders etc; the ability to embed the original
JPEG (rather than decoded bitmap) in an output PDF only happens if you
call setMimeData() with the original JPEG. I assume you're not doing
that.

Hm. Well, 4.0.14 was a long time ago; certainly since then under the
covers is Cairo 1.10 now and they fixed *all kinds* of things in the
rendering paths. I'm afraid I'd have to consider anything generated now
as "more correct" and adjust your drawing accordingly.

Of course, that only matters if you have somehow got java-gnome 4.0.14
linking against Cairo 1.8 and java-gnome 4.0.18 linking against Cairo
1.10; if we're talking about the same system then that's not going to be
the case.
