Printing to "PDF-XChange Standard" printer flattens document with non-searchable text
Good day, mates.
It could be a setting or a bug, but when printing to the PDF-XChange Standard printer, the document is flattened so it can't be edited and text is not searchable. Neither of these are desirable in our printouts.
We haven't changed from the default print settings, from what we can tell. Could you point us the right direction to fix it?
NOTE: Two docs are attached. One printed through Chrome's Save to PDF feature and the other through the PDF-XChange Standard printer.

Well then, that explains it. I'll use the plugin now that I'm aware of it.
Thank you!
Thank you!

One other question, when I click the option to Convert to PDF... it appears to do something ("webpage to PDF converting") and then closes. Nothing happens thereafter. I checked the settings and they look fine.
My default application is PDF-XChange Editor. It doesn't matter if I leave the run option as Default Application, or actually browse to the executable.

Hi Ozinfotech,
This feature should be working fine. Can you please clarify which version and build of the software you are using?
Kind regards,

Thanks ozinfotech,
Does anything show in the Task Manager when you do this? PDFSaver should start. Often times the Save dialogue is hidden behind other windows:
Having said that, my first click failed too. Now of course I cannot reproduce that, PDFSave launches every time for me.
I am keen to hear if you see PDFSaver in the Task Manager.

Hi ozinfotech,
Can you please try uninstalling any PDF-XChange printers on your machine, then re-installing PDF-XChange Standard and see if the issue is still present?
