Package: printer-driver-cups-pdf
Version: 3.0.1-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

In prior bug reports, users complained that CUPS-PDF or printer-driver-cups-pdf produced PDF files in which text was represented in image format, or was not searchable.

In a message posted

  "Thu, 09 Mar 2017 13:40:21 +0000", 

closing bugs 658004, 813618, 847462, and 857165, there was a reference to printer-driver-cups-pdf_3.0.1-3, and in another message there was a suggestion that the problem is fixed in that version.

I have installed printer-driver-cups-pdf_3.0.1-5 (the current version distributed in Buster), and it appears that *whatever* is stored in the PDF files produced by printer-driver-cups-pdf, it's not searchable text.  Also, when these files are processed by pdftotext, the results do not contain recognizable text.

This was not a problem with the cups-pdf version 2.5.0-16 in Squeeze.

I tested using Firefox 44.0b3 to print an extremely simple HTML page to the CUPS PDF "driver".  (That particular ancient version of Firefox runs in both Squeeze and Stretch.)

Can this be fixed, short of installing a non-Debian version of CUPS-PDF-to-PDF or the like, such as that advertised at

  https://github.com/alexivkin/CUPS-PDF-to-PDF

?

Thank you.
