Hello,

A related topic:  
[https://discourse.processing.org/t/how-do-i-get-my-pdf-to-render-properly/37349/5](https://discourse.processing.org/t/how-do-i-get-my-pdf-to-render-properly/37349/5)

Try this:

```auto
import processing.pdf.*;

String fileName;

void setup()
  {
  size(400, 400);

  fileName = "output/" + day()+hour()+minute() + "-###.pdf";
  //noStroke();
  //fill(0);
  beginRecord(PDF, fileName);
  noStroke(); // Moved to here
  fill(0); // Moved to here
  background(255);
  circle(200, 200, 50);
  endRecord();
  }

```
