Print to PDF is broken

[Zack Cerza]

I have a PS file that I need to convert to PDF. I remembered seeing a PDF print option in Evince, so I opened it up and sure enough, there was a printer called "Create a PDF document". I selected that, picked a filename, and pressed the Print button. An error message popped up, saying: "Generating PDF is not supported".

Bizzare, confirming with evince 0.5.2-0ubuntu1. Other programs like gedit are able to print to PDF without problem...

Doh I should have looked before saying that. This is a dup of Bug #27015

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

Hmm that bug is different again. This seems a good match though: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332121

Thanks Sitsofe for finding out.
