This is more than just bug 817049. As Adrian pointed out, the resulting PDF files are often degraded (e.g. I sometimes experience shifted contents where something at the very top or bottom is missing on the printout since it was shifted outside the printer's range.
Converting everything including PDF to postscript, applying some dirty modifications on it and converting it back to PDF, is definitely not a good idea. The whole print pipeline is outdated and - sorry to say that - very questionable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820820 Title: cups-pdf should not convert PDF print jobs to PS then to PDF To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pdf/+bug/820820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
