Is Adobe PDF the only virtual printer that's broken, or are all virtual printers (e.g. CutePDF, Microsoft XPS Document Writer) broken?

You said Chrome 59 worked. Do you know if Chrome 60 or 62 works?

I tried on Windows 7 with Acrobat X. With Chrome 62.0.3202.94, I opened chrome://version, printed it via Print Preview to the "Adobe PDF" virtual printer with all the default settings. The resulting "About Version.pdf" looks fine. (attached)

I did notice while the text looks fine, trying to select it ends up selecting garbage. Is that what this bug is really about? It would help if you can attach a sample output PDF for comparison.

Closing this bug for now. We haven't heard back in a while, and printing with Acrobat X worked for me.
