Don't do that, you may not have writing rights there.

In your case "doing nothing" is best, i.e. that the file .pdfbox.cache 
is written in "C:\Users\Rangarajan" (if that is *your* home directory).

Maybe anti-aliasing.

We have observed problems printing with some files, don't know if this 
applies to you. See here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3046

See the first comment by John Hewson.

About this:

"Getting 13 to 19 seconds in 1.8.10, whereas in 2.0.0SNAPSHOT builds 22 
to 36 seconds"

That is very slow. It would be interesting to have a look at the PDF 
file. If you can, please upload it somewhere. Or send it to me (tilman 
at snafu dot de) and clarify what confidentiality you want (e.g. delete 
after a week, allow to pass to other committers, whatever).

Try also view it with PDFDebugger command line utility in 2.0, or 
PDFReader in 1.8. Is display also slow?

https://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/commandline.html
