[Bug 332472] Re: Thunderbird cannot print to PDF

[Till Kamppeter]

Note: This bug and the referenced upstream bug are different bugs. This
bug is about the missing facility of exporting e-mails into PDF files on
the local file system. The print dialog of Thunderbird 2.x and older is
not the standard print dialog of GNOME and its "Print to File" generates
only PostScript files. There is also no "Export to PDF" in the "File"
menu. The referenced upstream bug is about the data format which is sent
if one prints to an actual print queue. This format should be PDF and
not PostScript any more.

This bug is actually fixed in Thunderbird 3.x, as 3.x uses the standard
GNOME printing dialog and so the "Print to File" functionality allows
exporting PDF files. The referenced upstream bug is not yet fixed, but a
patch is supplied there.

** Changed in: mozilla-thunderbird (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
