[Bug 684376] Re: Change 'Print to File' default to PDF

 

Firstly, I too, would like to mention that print to PDF should be the
default. I can't imagine for what purpose I'd want to print to
Postscript. Who uses Postscript anymore?

Secondly, I fail to understand how this script is useful. What do I do
with it? Print it to PDF??? Ha! Ha! Just kidding. But I'm not a
programmer so it's all gobbledigook to me.

I did a search for a file called nsDeviceContextSpecG.cpp       on my
computer and it doesn't exist. At least, Search for Files didn't find
it. And having a look at the links provided is of no use either. Where
is this folder widget/src/gtk2/ located? Not in the filesystem root nor
in my home folder.

So after searching for a solution to this problem (bug if you will),
which, by the way, didn't originate with 11.04 (I've found it a source
of annoyance for at least 2 years), for a couple of hours I am still no
further than when I started.

  Change 'Print to File' default to PDF

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I use the 'Print to File' option a lot. Almost all the time, I choose
  PDF as the file format for this purpose. I think this would be the
  case for a majority of the users too. Hence, I think the file format
  chosen by default in the 'Print to File' dialog should be PDF instead
  of PS.
