Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P2)

Attachment: firefox-infos.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141125180439

Steps to reproduce:

At the web site of the bank ING-DiBa.de using Firefox I generated a 2 pages PDF file to transfer some company shares to this bank. The completed file was then displayed in a new Firefox window using the Firefox internal browser.



Actual results:

1st error: Where in the text of the PDF file 'tt' occured, instead of this letters I saw a blank space at the display.
2nd error:
Using the 'print' option of this Firefox browser, a lot of letters and other signs are not printed. For example instead of 'ft' as part of a word a rectangle.
But there occured a lot of rectangle also instead of other signs like 'm', 'll', ...
So a lot of sentences of the document are not readable.
I stored the file.
But a part of the content is strictly confidential.
I displayed it then with the Adobe Reader: all is perfect!
And it ist also printed perfectly.
(If wished, I could try to generate a new file with random numbers and names.)


Expected results:

The Firefox PDF reader should display the PDF file correctly and also print it so.

Could you attach the PDF document if it contains no private data, please. It's hard to debug without sample.

The firefox PDF reader was unable to view and print correctly a PDF file similar like this. Unfortunately one of the numbers is still a private one. Therefore please don't distribute the file to more persons as essentially necessary to analyze the error.
