I noticed that when printing a PDF file from our built-in viewer, the edges of text are not as smooth as they should be, or as smooth as when printing a web page. I did some investigation, and it seems that the viewer prints PDF's as somewhat raster images. It would be great if it were printed as curves instead. Ideally, even textual information would be preserved as well, so that if I print PDF to another PDF, I could still select text. Attaching sample PDF's. One is printed from Firefox while in a website, and the other one is a re-print of the first one opened in the built-in PDF viewer.
