Low Resolution When Printing to PDF on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)

Recently, after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) from 8.10 (Intrepid) I noticed that PDF files produced via the “Print” command in various programs (similar to Adobe Distiller) produces very low resolution files and renders all text into images. It turns out to be a bug in CUPS-PDF, which is the package handling that functionality in Ubuntu. For some reason, the pdftops filter in cups got replace, you can get a fixed version here. Hopefully, a fixed package will be reduced soon.
