Well, in Mac OS X, I tried printing (as PDF) an svg file from Opera and discovered that not only is it impossible to do the page set-up in Opera but the resulting file is, as I was expecting, a bit-map file. So I decided to print from Safari instead. I discovered to my surprise that the PDF produced is a vector file. I then did the same in Shiretoko/Firefox with the same pleasing results. Can anyone tell me what engine Safari and Firefox use for this conversion, whether it's the same engine in both cases and why Opera does not use it?
