since few days cutepdf writer produces only white pages as output when used w/ firefox - [w/ chrome it works, but prefer to continue using firefox]
Any work that I save w/ CutePDF writer from within Firefox is white.

Hi ingridblava, Firefox has problems printing some pages, especially if they have more modern layouts. Firefox may move all the content to the second page, or only print part of the content, as well as other issues. But a completely blank printout is unusual.
Do you print directly using Ctrl+p or do you use Firefox's Print Preview screen to check before printing? If you are in the habit of using Ctrl+p, please try using Print Preview for a while to see whether this problem is showing up there, too. (This doesn't work for printing only a selection.) You can access Print Preview using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > Print...
- (menu bar) File > Print Preview
Any difference there?
What if you try Microsoft's PDF printer driver? I don't know its name in the Print dialog, but it probably mentions Microsoft or Windows and PDF.

Did you see if they had updates to cutepdf to see if that wasn't why it wouldn't work with FF?

Solved - Always used the 3-bar print option before, but this never showed an actual preview and it would still print correctly! When checking the vaious options on this page noticed that the setting was on 'custom scale' and that was set to 0. Changed to 'fit to page' and now everything works again as expected.
many thx!

Thank you for reporting back. I never would have guessed that!
