Comment 117 for bug 150187

So, my mood is below my shoes for this bug, because it's in the most important program for a scientist: the default pdf viewer. And it makes absolutely necessary to install a proprietary program to do the most basic activity people perceived doable with computers: printing, like with typewriters. It's free knowledge, converted from a free format to another free format, but I need a proprietary program to get a printout.

So please, can somebody help me understand if the cases above are the same bug or not?
