halcanary: Can SkPDF figure out there is obscured text that does not need to be rendered into the PDF, or does Blink have to figure that out?

halcanary: Can you take a quick look?
If you crop the text before drawing it, then it might help.  But no, SkPDF can't know ahead of time that text will be obscured by later drawing commands.

Let's ask Blink>Paint to help take a look then.

This seems super hard to fix for not much benefit. How often do people print overlays and expect to be able to select from the print preview?
