--- Begin Message ---Package: cups-pdf Version: 2.6.1-22 Severity: wishlist In the package description text and in the READM.Debian file, I think it would be useful to add text that clarifies some points: While cups-pdf generally makes a good or at least decent job of generating a PDF files, there are some cases when the quality of the generated PDF is low. Apart from some corner situations, cups-pdf needs not being used, specifically: - when using a program able to generate a PDF, it is best to use that functionality, for example when using Libreoffice, or Inkscape, or Gimp - otherwise, it is advisable to use the "print to file" functionality of the printing subsystem: for example in Gnome when you choose a printer from a list in the printing dialog, "print to file" is the first choice, above all printers names In practice, the above two situations should cover the vast majority of cases when a PDF is produced locally on a PC equipped with screen and keyboard. -- Francesco Potortì (ricercatore) Voice: +39.050.621.3058 ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Mobile: +39.348.8283.107 via G.
