ODS file which when printed via virtual PDF printer produces PDF from which it
is not possible to copy text
It seems to me that Calc is sending text to be printed to the printer as
bitmap. This is not problem when printing on paper, however if you are using
virtual printer such as "PDF Creator" or "Microsoft Print to PDF" to "print" to
PDF this is a big problem as resulting PDF file is not searchable/indexable and
one cannot copy text from it. This is happening whenever the sheet contains any
bitmap image. See attached files.
Please don't suggest to use built-in export to PDF function as a "solution",
because
1) Bitmap should not be sent to printer anyway, IMO. From Write it works
correctly.
2) I'm using virtual printer to overcome bug #49432 in Export to PDF
functionality.
