Hello,

Issue: Opening a pdf file using the embedded pdf plugin of EO Browser and then printing using the print icon results a pdf with a barcode different than the Chrome browser's pdf plugin printout.

Replication steps:
1) Use EO Browser to load a pdf file that has a barcode
2) Print using the print icon

3) Use Chrome Browser to load a pdf file that has a barcode
4) Print using the print icon

Expected: both printouts should have the same barcode look

Actual: they are different, resulting rare cases where barcode readers don't recognize the barcode.

Have a look at this image which points out the differences: barcode differences

Hi,

This most likely is an issue of the version of Chrome engine/PDF plugin we are built with since our code does not deal with bar code in anyway. In that case we would need to wait until we sync with Chrome's code base next time since it is not practical for us to forward port issues that are fixed in newer version of the Chrome engine. This is because there are hundreds of commits daily on the main chromium project so it would become unmanagable for us if we were to do cherry picking from the main branch.

Thanks!

Fair enough,

We will revert to handling pdfs without the plugin for now.

Thanks for replying,

Jim
