pdftocairo is limited by the fact that cairo only handles sRGB. It is therefore unsuitable any time color is important, eg if the pdf uses cmyk or named colors or icc profiles, et cetera.
It is fine for printing most web pages, since the browser likely also is limited to sRGB. And for simple personal or office documents, all momochrome document and the like. But pdftops is better for more general documents, and therefore makes better sence for the default filter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1476705 Title: [SOLVED] postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1476705/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
