I print a lot of rticles to PDF format and since i use Opera all the time, I tried but the pdf is all garbled text (cannot be read at al except the images)

I have these options in Print Dialog:
CUPS-PDF
HP Desktop 2400
Print to File(PDF)
Print to Postscript

I have used all three pdf options above and all give me the same garbled results.

However, in Firefox or Chromium the option Print to File and choosing pdf format works fine.

So whats the problem here in Opera?

No such problem here with Opera 11 (latest snapshot).
Secondly print to PDF is not a good idea because you can't select the text and there are is no index. I really suggest you use a Web Service.
