Description Pierre Ossman 2016-03-22 12:42:29 UTC
We're switching over from SumatraPDF to Poppler/Cairo as the software to handle PDF printing on Windows. Unfortunately we are seeing some regressions in that some documents are getting rasterised rather than being sent to the printer in a vector format.

Two examples:

Taken from:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince/Testing
http://www.princexml.com/samples/

The problem seems to be specific to the Win32 backend as pdftocairo with the SVG backend works fine.
