Anybody else have this issue:
Open a pdf in the internal FF viewer, try to print it.
Print preview is fine, but all I get out is blank pages.
Save then open in ocular and it prints fine.

I use an external viewer (evince) since specifying a viewer as a FF viewer means that you don't get a choice to view or save PDF files.

You do get the automatic view than the options to save/print with the built in one. Save works but twice now I have had blank prints.

For me, the save/view ratio is roughly 50/50.
What is the internal FF viewer anyway?
There are many viewers available.
There is even a write to PDF file printer available (via CUPS).
If you just print to file you can get a postscript file - which can be converted to pdf with ps2pdf.

I just select PDF at the print stage - not had a failed print yet (and it's easier to change scaling etc. if one line prints on a second page)
But, that doesn't correct the blank output from a PDF displayed within FF

Its the viewer for pdf's that was introduced a while back.
80% of the time I just want to view the pdf to check something, so it is faster to do so in the browser. If I want to I can then save it.
