cups-pdf creates strange lines in PDF when printing from OpenOffice

[Pietz]

Binary package hint: cups-pdf

I have a clean OpenOffice document with font DejaVu Sans (12pt) and always the digit "2" has a horizontal line when printing on cups-pdf. When I print to another printer (e.g. my HP Laserjet) I get no such lines. Also when I convert the PDF directly in OOo I get a superb PDF.

I tried it with OOo 3.0.1 and 3.1.0 and always the same lines above the digits. I recognized this behavior also with other fonts. I attached a PDF which was created with cups-pdf 2.5.0-1ubuntu1.

Can you reproduce this?

Thanks
Andreas

Thank you for reporting this. For comparison, can you try producing the PDF directly from OOo's Export to PDF option in the File menu? Do you get the same bug as when producing the PDF via CUPS-PDF?

Looks like a duplicate of bug 362186. Please follow the instructions there and tell whether the alternative pdftops filter helps.

As I mentioned, the stipes are only visible when printing the OOo document to the cups-pdf. When I export the document directly from OOo to PDF there are no stripes. That's why I reported the bug to cups-pdf.

Need more information? Some logfiles? Can you reproduce the stripes with font DejaVu?
