 Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:16 pm Post subject: Firefox PDF output is often very pixelated |
 |
|
This started after an update a few months back. At first I thought it was a peculiarity of the particular page I was looking at, but I am starting to see it elsewhere.
When I make a PDF of a page in Firefox 10, it often comes out looking horrible.
Here is an example page. Here is how the page looks in the browser:
http://imagebin.org/204686
And here is how it looks in a PDF:
http://imagebin.org/204687
Note
1. The absence of the graphic, and
2. The horrible pixelation of the text.
This used to work beautifully, so I am wondering what's going on here.
