I can reproduce it when I run with your attachment #468903 ---------------------------------------------------------------- pdftops test.pdf pdftops-test.ps ---------------------------------------------------------------- then pdftops-test.ps contains misplaced letters. Therefore the root cause is either in pdftops or perhaps your test.pdf is somehow broken. "pdfinfo test.pdf" shows ----------------------------------------------------------------- Creator: Writer Producer: LibreOffice 3.4 .. PDF version: 1.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------- The root cause could also be in LibreOffice 3.4 or in whatever tool or library that is used by LibreOffice to produce PDFs. /usr/bin/pdftops belongs to the poppler-tools RPM. I re-assign it for now to the poppler-tools maintainer to have a look whether or not the root cause is in pdftops. When you print a PDF from the Adobe Reader, the Adobe Reader itself converts the PDF to PS so that the Adobe Reader sends PS to CUPS. Apparently the Adobe Reader PDF to PS conversion works best here (it is known that often the Adobe Reader works best to print PDF) to that at least for now you should use the Adobe Reader to print PDF (regardless that the Adobe Reader is non-free software). That it works with the Adobe Reader does not prove that your test.pdf is strictly PDF version 1.4 compliant. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
