I'm Running Windows 10 and Firefox 94.0.2 64 bit From a web page, I cannot print searchable PDFs, i.e., I cannot select and copy text from the PDF I know I used to be able to do this with Firefox, not sure when I lost the capability. I have older web pages printed from Firefox that are searchable/text-selectable

I've tried creating the PDFs by "printing" to Bullzip, MS Print to PDF, CutePDF Writer. All yield similar results - the resulting PDF appears to be a graphic blob and clicking on anything in the PDF selects a large blue box. Chrome does appear to work. In Chrome, select PRINT, then Destination SAVE AS PDF. This yields a searchable PDF. This is more than annoying as I use the text selection regularly. Is switching to Chrome the only reasonable answer? Thanks!
