PDF Rendering Accuracy/Quality

[seadoo]

I wrote a post and the email link gave me 401 unfortunately. Here's the abbreviated version:

PDF rendering in firefox seems to be poor for high resolution or vector .pdf files. Here is a link to a comparison to another browser at the same zoom % with the same file. (edit: Firefox is on the right in that image)

You'll also notice some like scan-lines in the background. Other browser looks correct and is rendering at high resolution/vector-esque.

I'm sure pdf rendering is challenging in a browser, but this is worth sharing as it tricked me into thinking my pdfs were not printing/exporting correctly until I checked in another program. Highly recommend SumatraPDF as well.

I have noticed this too in my recent experience printing with Firefox! The same file which is ~250MB only transfers about 8MB of data to the printer when printed from Firefox according to the Windows print queue. Chrome sent 106MB on the same file. What's odd to me is that in trying to figure out the bad quality, I had many different DPI and file size files sent through Firefox with most sending small files (5-6MB) and some considerably larger and better quality (25MB). Not sure what caused these outlier file transfers because it wasn't necessarily the larger files that transferred more data to the printer.
