Dear Debian folks,


Using Debian sid/unstable with *gnome* 1:49+3.1, *evince* 48.1-4 and
*papers* 48.5-1, opening a TIFF file in Evince or Papers, pressing Ctrl
+ p to open the print dialog, choosing *Print to file*, in Evince, only
a PostScript file is produced despite the file suffix I choose. No
option to select the format is presented. In Papers, format options are
shown, but selecting *PDF* a PostScript file is created.


Kind regards,

Paul

In my testing, this appears specific to papers and evince. Here is a
workaround: You can open the file in Loupe (the default GNOME image
viewer in Debian Testing) and Print from there to PDF.

Thank you,
