Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups-pdf
When printing PDF files using the 'PDF' printer created from cups-pdf:
lp -d PDF ~/.bashrc
The resulting PDF files appears to be all images: you can not search nor copy
text. (See attached.
Also, when I try printing a larger file (e.g. 437K of text), a 3.9 MB
PDF files is created (as opposed to 485K when using gedit's straight-to-
pdf functionality).
What I find very weird is that if you look at the cups error log, you'll see
three filters running:
- texttopdf
- pdftopdf
- cpdftops
and then finally to cups-pdf.
You'll also see warnings that pdftopdf produces a problematic pdf file.
If there is a texttopdf, why are all the other programs running?
