Public bug reported:
Affects: kdebase kdeprint (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
System used: Dapper Drake as of april 26th
I use Konqueror for browsing and I often need to print pages as PDF-files for
documentation.
However, the output created by kdeprint (well at least I guess that it is
actually kdeprint that is responsible after all. Please forward to the actual
package if I was wrong) is poor: Characters are "dancing" significantly and
some graphics are destroyed. This is also the case when I print directly to my
printer. When I print a PS-file and convert it via ps2pdf the graphics are
better retained but the characters are still wired.
Interestingly, when I print a webpage within Firefox as a PS (no PDF available)
(but also with direct print) and convert this file to a PDF (ps2pdf) I do NOT
see this.
I tried this also with SuSE 10.0 and several Debian installs - It's the same
everywhere, so presumably an upstream problem
I try to attached a PNG-file that shows the different results with a print from
the Ubuntu-Page. You see the program used in the tite. The file created within
Konqueror with a direct PDF-creation is also attached.
Thank you for listening and caring!
