Firefox extension pdf export text mapping is off

[meono]

Hi,

I just tried PDF export through Firefox extension and the resulting file is off. File can be read fine but the text search, copy paste is broke. For example, if I search for “ms”, text for “lt” is found/highlighted. If I copy “genome” text, if pastes as “fdmnld”. This seems to be the case for both mac preview and acrobat reader. Export from Chrome doesn’t have this problem.

Not sure if this is a bug or an issue on my end.

Thank you for reporting, @meono. To help the team reproduce the problem in Firefox, how did you export the PDF?

Did you click Print PDF in the PDF viewer:

Or, did you click the paperclip under the reference to open its files panel and click Save file to your computer next to the file:

Another option is to select the reference, click More in the toolbar, and select Download files as ZIP:

In the meantime, any of these methods can be used as a workaround while the team investigates the issue.
