    Hello All,


    A user has reported that printing from a software and using Microsoft Print to PDF, caused content that displayed correctly on screen to change, see examples below:

    Example 1: 287 was changed 207

    Example 2: Page number 18 on screen got changed to 10

    Example 3: % of revenue was changed to +#&4#%!"!56!
