1239322 - Print preview of long HTML shows only first page, the second one contains garbage

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 267029

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Michal Stybnar]

Attachment: Contains the source HTML and the exported PDF using PDF XChange 2012

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20160105164030

Steps to reproduce:

I translated a 15 pages long document (only text no graphics) using google translate and wanted to print it as PDF using PDF XChange 2012 virtual printer. The HTML produced by google translate is attached to be able to reproduce it.


Actual results:

The first page (both in print preview and in the saved PDF - attached) is correct, but the second page contains just some garbage. Pages from 2-15 are completely missing.


Expected results:

It's expected to see the whole document in the print preview as well as the exported PDF (or printed on a printer as it should be the same). It doesn't really matter if the original page would be somehow split in the resulting document, at least all the text should be visible. Just for comparison Internet Explorer 11 prints the whole document split to 20 pages (result not attached).

I see the incomplete file when print to pdf or XPS Document in Fx44b8 Windows 10.

All the text is in absolutely positioned divs that are manually placed all over, instead of being flowed.  So this is a duplicate of bug 267029.
