Hi UJbuy@Unitybox.de,

Thanks for the post - this is because a lot of browsers do not send text information to printers, when printing webpages. If you're seeing this, I suspect that you may be using Chrome or Opera.

Please try using Firefox or Internet Explorer, as both appear to produce text based PDFs for me. Please note that it may also depend on the website that you are trying to print.

Thanks,
