[Issue 128243] New: Text sent as bitmap to printer
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128243
Issue ID: 128243
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Text sent as bitmap to printer
Product: Calc
Version: 4.1.7
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 10
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: printing
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: dzonny.dz@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---

ODS file which when printed via virtual PDF printer produces PDF from which it
is not possible to copy text
It seems to me that Calc is sending text to be printed to the printer as
bitmap. This is not problem when printing on paper, however if you are using
virtual printer such as "PDF Creator" or "Microsoft Print to PDF" to "print" to
PDF this is a big problem as resulting PDF file is not searchable/indexable and
one cannot copy text from it. This is happening whenever the sheet contains any
bitmap image. See attached files.
Please don't suggest to use built-in export to PDF function as a "solution",
because
1) Bitmap should not be sent to printer anyway, IMO. From Write it works
correctly.
2) I'm using virtual printer to overcome bug #49432 in Export to PDF
functionality.

Read my comment 2
The problem comes from inserted picture.

I would still consider this an issue. Why inserting a picture should prevent
text from being selected?

OS: Win 10x64 Pro
Prerequisities: "Microsoft Print to PDF" or "PDFCreator" printer installed;
Adobe Acrobat Reader installed
1) Open the file attached (attachment 86790; Ukázka.ods)
2) Press Ctrl+P (or goto File | Print)
3) Choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" or "PDFCreator" printer
4) Print
5) Choose a file to save resulting PDF to
6) If the resulting PDF file didn't open automatically in Adobe Acrobat Reader,
open it
7) In Adobe Acrobat Reader select text from the PDF (e.g. 1st line "Faktura /
Daňový doklad") and copy it to clipboard
8) Open any text editor (e.g. notepad) and paste the text from clipboard
Current behavior:
At step 7 the content is being selected as image, not as text. As a result of
that in step 8 nothing is pasted, because in step 7 no text has been copied to
clipboard. Resulting file form step 5 has more than 1MB.
Expected behavior:
It's allowed to select text from "printed" PDF. The resulting file is smaller
as it does not contain much bitmap data, just text and vector graphic + one
small bitmap.

New PDF with selected text ability
For me, the problem comes from your document and its inserted picture.
If I insert it at new, print to a virtual PDF printer works.
