Subject: Problem converting a shaded shape to another format

I have been attempting to find the cause of this problem for at least a day and 
have tried Google searches and your site https://pdfbox.apache.org

Originally I was attempting to convert the PDF to TIFF, but the shading does 
not get copied to the converted file, although it does to the file 
ShadedShapes.pdf_COPY.pdf.

This is produced by loading the PDF ShadedShapes.pdf into a PDDocument and then 
saving it to the output file. This was done to check that the shading was not 
lost during the loading process.

When attempting to convert to PNG (or TIFF), the shading is lost so I assume 
the shading is a non-stroking colour.

I am particularly keen to have a solution to this, as in all other respects, 
the conversion to TIFF appears to have a very accurate reproduction.

I have not tried this with the Version 2 of PDFBox, as I note that the PDPage  
method convertToImage is not available and without any apparent information on 
how to use the collection of classes, apart from other user contributions, it 
is difficult to work out how to use this very useful library.
