1004385 - PDFs pages printing does not work - all text and photos not printed - new to Firefox 29

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1003707

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect)

Description

[Nigel]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140421221237

Steps to reproduce:

Chose various PDFs to print - such as PDFs from the AQA exam board.  Used inbuilt PDF engine to view.

Chose to print pages say 2-6 - 2 pages per page - do not print on both sides


Actual results:

Empty pages printed


Expected results:

Pages should have been printed with text

Used alternatives and printing worked.  Failure has occured with the Firefox 29 upgrade.  Note that the upgrade has reverted the previous use alternative viewer to using the inbuilt firefox one.  

Tested with 3 different Firefox installations with different printers and PDF Readers - same result.

SOLUTION - Abandon using in built PDF viewer 

Raised as a security issue on the basis that the Firefox reputation could be harmed by this apparent failure in testing
