| both the save as pdf and print to pdf feature. If you try saving to pdf the text
is minute even scaled up to over 200% and if you print to pdf the text is not
editable as it should be or was.

Thank you Microsoft yet again - does anyone there know what they are doing ????
They have never been able to accept they lost the universal document battle to
adopbe and pdf's. XPS is totally useless - Come back BIll - all is forgiven

I use Edge but never "Save as PDF". I always use "Print to PDF", which is still
there (in my version at least).

What version of Windows are you on?
XPS is from the Windows Vista era and is not at all relevant in this context.
Microsoft Print to PDF has been a standard print driver for ages.
Microsoft has joint forces with Adobe for developing the font formats.
So where do you see any resentment?

Windows 7 and everything was working fine until today (Edge updated itself last
noght)
We understood that xps was Microsoft's effort to counter the dominance of
pdf (And it never worked)
Microsoft print to pdf outside of edge works fine we use it all the time within
edge it is a different story
Up until this morning everythig was fine when we saved to pdf then opened the
pdf in adobe combined it with our order cover sheet If we used the edge print
to pdf command the pdf it created was not editable in other words we could not
copy text and paste it., which we can do when we save as pdf.
From this morning it has adjusted the font size to almost unreadable and that
is even with the scale set to maximum. Like almost everything Microsoft do they
very rarely get it right first time. The office suite has detreated significantly
as they continue to push to do everything via the web.

| Have you tried using "Save As PDF" from Chrome? I just tried that (though I'm
running Win 10) and I was able to copy and paste from the PDF produced (I'm
guessing "Print to PDF" produces an image instead of PDF code).
It would at least allow you to rule out the "Save as PDF" driver and place the
blame squarely on Edge

Just tried that and it seems to work - which confirms it is an edge issue. Thanks
