This happens when I try to print web pages with virtual pdf printer. Instead of the page text, the result will be nonsensical strings of capital letters all jumbled together. The web pages are English, the pdf result doesn't resemble any known language at all.

I have current version of firefox.

These web pages did print correctly to pdf with virtual pdf printer when I used IE8 instead of firefox.

Sounds like this unresolved Bug in Firefox.

bold textI've tried several different virtual pdf printer applications including: Foxit pdf printer doPDF v 7 Nitro PDF driver v5 NovaPDF Simpo PDF Creator qvPDF Virtual PDF Printer

I took screenshots of the same small section of a sample pdf file saved to pdf using the virtual pdf printer freeware doPDF v7. Both test screenshots were taken on the same computer, a laptop running Vista Home Premium.

You can clearly see the problem!
