On Windows, when I print a PDF from Front using Microsoft Print as PDF, the resulting PDF has embedded images, not text. In other words, I can’t select or copy text in the PDF using Adobe Reader or any other PDF viewer. Is there a way to print a PDF that would enable me to copy text from the PDF?

How to print PDF with text, not an embedded image?

This does seem to be a limitation of Microsoft Print to PDF and all other virtual printers I tried. The only solution I've found so far is using Front on web (or as a PWA) instead of the Windows app.
+6Hi there! Cat here from the Front support team 🌻
This might be related to limitations of the applications on your computer - I would recommend reaching out internally to your IT team for assistance as they probably have more details about these two applications.
If they are unable to find a cause for this, could you open a ticket with our team through Front Portal and we’ll continue investigating?
Cheers,
Cat
