fix(print): pages with Type 3 fonts go to Windows printers as pictures (#2684) by guillehr2 · Pull Request #3021 · storytold/pdfcraft

What this changes

Printing to a printer on Windows no longer hands the Windows print component pages that draw with Type 3 fonts. Those pages are rendered by PdfCraft at the Print as image resolution (300 dpi unless changed in Advanced) and sent as pictures; every other page of the job stays vector, as before. Fixes #2684.

Why. @mtlcl410 reproduced the crash on Windows 11 with a virtual printer (FinePrint) and narrowed it to the Type 3 font Chrome wrote for the recipe's text: a glyph followed by code 0x0F was enough. Windows.Data.Pdf renders the same page fine on its own, so the crash is in the print path (Windows.Data.Pdf drawing into Direct2D's print control, through craft-print). It is native (0xC0000094 or 0xC0000005), so nothing in PdfCraft can catch it and the whole app closes. Print as image (#1965) avoided it. This takes direction 2 of that comment: only the pages that need it become pictures, and only on Windows.

How.

pdfcraft_print::type3_pages(doc, pages, content) finds the pages whose print draws with a Type 3 font. It reads resources, not content streams: the page's fonts (inherited ones too), and through form XObjects (forms in forms), tiling patterns, soft-mask groups (a shading pattern's too) and the appearances of the annotations that print under the chosen Comments & Forms. It never panics and is bounded: a seen-set per page, a depth limit (64) and a budget of 20,000 reads per page. A page whose resources go past the limit or the budget counts as using a Type 3 font, because the picture is the safe side. Broken entries (a /Resources that is a number, missing objects, a /SMask that is /None, cyclic forms) are not Type 3 fonts.
print::Settings::type3_raster: Option<Raster> asks for this. Session::print_pdf renders the pages found the same way Print as image does (print_raster::pictures, sharing its render step with rasterize) and pdfcraft_print::impose_with_pictures draws each picture in its page's place, over the displayed page and turned back into user space, so imposition, rotation, crops and labels are unchanged. The picture already shows what prints of the page, so its annotations are not drawn again. The other pages go through page_form as before. impose is impose_with_pictures with no pictures.
spool::TYPE3_AS_IMAGE (cfg!(windows)) says where this applies. The Print dialog sets type3_raster for a printer on Windows, not for Save as PDF, not in a browser and not when Print as image is already on. CUPS gets the PDF as it was.
Visible: when a page being printed uses Type 3 fonts, the dialog says "Pages that use Type 3 fonts print as images, because Windows can close PdfCraft while printing them. The other pages print as usual." under the printer settings, like the two-sided note. The log says which pages went as images (log::info!).
Headless: doc_print takes type3_as_image (default on when printing to a printer on Windows, off otherwise) and lists the pages it sent as pictures (1-based) as type3_as_image in its result.

How you verified it

cargo fmt --check
clippy with -D warnings on the crates I changed: cargo clippy -p pdfcraft-print -p pdfcraft-engine -p pdfcraft-automation -p pdfcraft-ui-egui --all-targets -- -D warnings is clean
tests pass on the crates I changed: cargo test -p pdfcraft-print (28 passed), cargo test -p pdfcraft-engine --lib (276 passed, 1 ignored), cargo test -p pdfcraft-automation --test automation (176 passed), cargo test -p pdfcraft-ui-egui --lib --test print (428 passed, 1 ignored; 14 passed). I ran the test files that cover this change, not every ui-egui test file.
cargo xtask layers, cargo xtask assets and cargo xtask parity: layers OK (37 crates), assets OK after re-pinning the 22 catalog hashes in ATTRIBUTION.toml, parity OK

What I reproduced, and what I didn't. I could not reproduce the crash itself.

I made two Type 3 test files locally (neither is committed): a real Chrome PDF, printed by headless Chrome from an HTML page set in Windows' variable fonts Bahnschrift and Segoe UI Variable (Chrome writes variable fonts as Type 3: six Type 3 fonts, y-flipped /FontMatrix), and a hand-written Skia-style Type 3 font with the issue's sequence, a glyph followed by code 0x0F whose d1 box is all zeros.
I printed them through pdfcraft-cli run (doc_print, printer "Microsoft Print to PDF" named explicitly, type3_as_image: false, so the old vector path). That printer's PORTPROMPT: port asks where to save the file. The prompt couldn't be answered from a headless run, so those jobs stopped when the job was created, with 0x8007003F (the print was cancelled), or waited for an answer. Job creation comes before any page is drawn, so Direct2D's print control never drew a Type 3 page here: the crash is neither reproduced nor ruled out with Microsoft Print to PDF. One run with this change, where the Type 3 page went as a picture, completed (spooled 1 sheet(s)).
So the fix rests on @mtlcl410's FinePrint reproduction and on the fact that Print as image avoided the crash there. I did not print to paper.

Tests. I saw each new test fail with the fix reverted, then pass with it:

pdfcraft-print: type3_fonts_are_found_through_forms_patterns_soft_masks_and_printed_annotations (detection off: left: [] right: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9]), a_picture_replaces_its_page_on_the_sheet_and_the_other_pages_stay_vector (impose_with_pictures ignoring the pictures: one picture each, left: 0 right: 2), type3_detection_survives_malformed_cyclic_deep_and_huge_resources (detection off: left: []; without the seen-set the cyclic forms page came back as Type 3 through the depth limit: left: [3, 7, 8, 9]; without the depth limit and the budget: left: [9]).
pdfcraft-engine: pages_with_type3_fonts_print_as_pictures_and_the_others_stay_vector (detection off: left: [] right: [0, 2]; detection on but print_pdf not routing the pages: two pictures, and no Type 3 font left to send, left: (1, 0) right: (0, 2), so the Type 3 font went to the printer), printing_type3_pages_as_pictures_survives_broken_resources (without the seen-set: the cyclic page was reported, so the is_empty assertion failed).
pdfcraft-automation: doc_print_sends_type3_pages_as_images (detection off: no type3_as_image in the result).
pdfcraft-ui-egui (tests/print.rs): type3_pages_go_to_windows_printers_as_images_and_the_dialog_says_so (detection off: left: [] right: [0]; the dialog not setting type3_raster: left: None right: Some(Raster { dpi: 300.0, grayscale: false })). On Windows this test checks the dialog's note and settings; elsewhere it checks that nothing changes.

Never-crash

No new unwrap/expect/panic!/unreachable!/todo! outside tests
No indexing or slicing with input-derived positions; checked/saturating arithmetic; the walk over resources is bounded by a seen-set, a depth limit and a read budget; a rendered page is checked against its width × height before it is used
No unsafe
The crash is native and not reproducible in CI; the synthetic tests pin the decision (a Chrome-style Type 3 page goes as a picture, the others stay vector, and Windows is never handed a Type 3 font) and the hostile inputs of the new walk

Provenance

No asset from an Adobe product
No font files committed. The test fonts are a few bytes of Type 3 glyph procedures written in the tests.
No GPL/AGPL code
Behaviour from ISO 32000-2 (Type 3 fonts, resources, patterns, soft masks), from the issue and from black-box observation of Chrome's output
No new assets. The new interface string is in all 22 catalogs as machine translations (cargo xtask assets --write re-pinned their hashes); native speakers are welcome to improve them.

Security

--root confinement unchanged: doc_print writes through the same resolve path
MCP and the control channel untouched
No network access

Parity and reach

parity/acrobat-features.toml: print.print-as-image notes say pages with Type 3 fonts go this way on their own on Windows printers, with the new tests as evidence
Headless: doc_print type3_as_image, with an end-to-end test
crates/print/README.md (it still said print as image was not done) and a ROADMAP progress-log line

Anything a reviewer should look at first

Resources, not content. A page whose resources name a Type 3 font it never draws with is printed as a picture too. Chrome writes a resource dictionary per page with only the fonts the page uses, so I kept the cheap, bounded check. Reading content streams would be more precise but slower on big documents, and the dialog reads every page when it opens on Windows.
Form fields only. With Form fields only, the page content isn't printed, so only the appearances of the fields count. If a field's appearance uses a Type 3 font, the page goes as a picture, and like Print as image today that picture also shows the page content: the renderer can't draw the fields alone. I don't expect any real file to hit this, but it's a judgement call.
Windows only. TYPE3_AS_IMAGE is cfg!(windows), so macOS and Linux and Save as PDF keep vector output. Direction 1 (Type 3 text to paths, still vector) or direction 3 (a helper process) could replace this later. The picture pages are larger in the spool, as with Print as image ([Bug Report] [PdfCraft] Print Error #2514).
Comments on picture pages. A picture page shows its comments the way Print as image does: left out for Document and Form fields only, drawn otherwise, so with Document and stamps those pages also show their other comments.
Pictures and impose. impose_with_pictures is a new public function next to impose, instead of building a mixed source document. That keeps page numbers, crops (Label) and Comments & Forms exactly as they were for the vector pages.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Windows printing now automatically renders pages containing Type 3 fonts as images at the selected resolution, while keeping other pages vector-based.
- The print dialog identifies affected pages and displays a notice when they’re included in a printer job.
- Automated printing supports the same behavior through the type3_as_image option, with configurable resolution and grayscale output.

storytold#2684) Printing a page that draws with a Type 3 font, as Chrome writes them, could close the whole app on Windows: the crash is native, inside Windows.Data.Pdf drawing into Direct2D's print control, so nothing in PdfCraft can catch it. Print as image avoided it. On Windows printers the pages that draw with Type 3 fonts are now rendered at the Print as image resolution and sent as pictures; the other pages stay vector.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 973a3

Some Windows print jobs can include content excluded by the selected print mode, and large resource-heavy documents can delay the Print dialog and printing. Resolve these issues before merging unless the impact is explicitly accepted.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 973a3

The change reduces exposure to a known Windows printing crash, but automatically rasterized pages can include content excluded by the chosen print settings. Opening the print dialog also adds synchronous, document-wide processing that can impair responsiveness on adversarial documents.

Retained concerns

Medium · security · inferred: Automatic picture substitution does not preserve the selected print-content policy. A printable Type 3 widget selects its page even under FormFieldsOnly, but raster generation renders the displayed document with comments hidden rather than removing page content. Likewise, DocumentAndStamps does not receive a stamp-only annotation filter. The resulting picture bypasses page_form filtering, potentially sending excluded document content or private markups to the selected printer. This limitation predates the PR in explicit Print as image, but becomes reachable during ordinary Windows printing.
Low · security · inferred: Opening the Windows print dialog now synchronously scans every document page before displaying the dialog, regardless of the eventual page selection or destination. Traversal state and the 20,000-read budget restart for each page, so many pages sharing a large resource graph amplify attacker-controlled work on the UI thread. The per-page bounds prevent unlimited traversal within one page but do not provide document-wide cancellation or responsiveness containment.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The supported exposure is the opened document, the processing application's availability and the user's chosen print destination. Document-controlled resources can trigger automatic rasterization, but the inspected change does not grant additional filesystem or printer privileges. Disclosure requires excluded content to be present on an affected page and the user or automation caller to print it.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

inferred — A printable widget with Type 3 appearance resources causes selection under FormFieldsOnly. The engine then renders the full displayed page with hide_comments=true, embeds it as an image and bypasses the vector branch that removes document body content. This is a source-supported output-policy regression, not a runtime-demonstrated exploit. DocumentAndStamps has the analogous loss of annotation-subtype filtering.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — The engine retains the existing print-permission check, and automation retains existing output-path resolution and spool submission. These controls limit authority but do not enforce which document elements are baked into a raster image; picture composition explicitly delegates that policy to its producer.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

inferred — Transient source snapshots and error propagation contain failed substitutions without persistent document changes. Availability containment is weaker: dialog classification and pre-spool rendering run synchronously, with no cancellation input in print_pdf. Per-page traversal limits, immediate image compression and raster-size caps reduce resource use but do not guarantee responsiveness across a large job.

Hardening Proposals

proposed — Produce raster pages from the same print-content-filtered representation used for vector output, preserving form-only, stamp-only and printable-annotation rules before image creation. Isolate document-wide detection and rendering from the UI thread and support cancellation or aggregate work limits without falling back to unsafe vector output.

The description is complete and follows the template. It explains the behavior, motivation, implementation, verification, safety limits, provenance, security, parity, headless access, and reviewer considerations.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#2684] requires printing the affected document on Windows without the application crash. The PR detects Type 3 fonts through page and printable annotation resources with bounded traversal, renders affected pages as pictures, and keeps other pages vector. Windows printer settings enable this path, while Save as PDF and non-Windows output remain unchanged. Engine, print, automation, and UI tests cover selective rasterization, malformed resources, settings, and reported page results. The crash was not reproduced, but the implementation and tests provide the stated workaround for the reported native print-path failure.

Resource detection, selective rasterization, imposition, Windows printer routing, UI messaging, headless support, tests, README updates, parity notes, and translation metadata support or document the Type 3 printing workaround. No unrelated behavior change is established. The ignored translation catalogs are intentionally excluded from review and do not affect this assessment.

4392-4401: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Cache shared Type 3 resource analysis across pages and the print job.

type3_pages creates a new Walk for every page. This resets the seen set and the 20,000-unit budget, so pages that share a large resource graph traverse it again. open_print performs the full scan synchronously. print_now and doc_print also scan before print_pdf scans again.

Cache traversal summaries across pages and reuse the dialog result for the print job when the document revision and content match. Preserve per-page semantics: retain each page's own seen set and budget, include traversal depth in the cache key, and cache traversal cost or equivalent state rather than only a final boolean. A bare ObjRef result can otherwise misclassify a resource reached at a different depth or with less remaining budget.

Preserve Content when rasterizing Type 3 pages.

print_raster::pictures receives only hide_comments, so the raster path does not apply the selected Content mode. FormFieldsOnly therefore renders page content, while DocumentAndStamps renders markups beyond stamps and widgets. impose_with_pictures replaces the page content and annotations with the picture, so these pages can differ from the selected print mode.

Pass the print content mode to the raster renderer and apply the same filtering as page_form: omit page content for FormFieldsOnly, and include only printable widgets and stamps for DocumentAndStamps. Do not use hide_comments as the content-mode filter. If RenderConfig cannot express this policy, render from a filtered document copy instead.

Do not use `hide_comments` as a substitute; if `RenderConfig` cannot express the policy, render from a filtered document copy.

Move the full-document scan off the Print-dialog path.

On Windows, open_print scans every page before it sets the Print dialog. The detector allows up to 20,000 resource reads per page, with no document-wide limit. This work can block the UI for a long, resource-heavy PDF, including when the user plans to choose Save as PDF. Compute the notice asynchronously or after the dialog opens, while preserving the selected-page warning.

@guillehr2 I tested this branch at 973a366 against the new sample in #2684, a Matplotlib drawing with two Type 3 fonts. On Windows 11 with the FinePrint virtual printer, the Type 3 file spooled in 7 of 7 runs and reported "type3_as_image": [1]. Today's main crashes in d2d1.dll on 3 of 3 runs. The TrueType version of the same drawing still prints as vector. Details are in #2684 (comment).

The branch is conflicting with main now (#4087 moved integration tests to tests/it/, which touches crates/automation/tests/automation.rs and crates/ui-egui/tests/print.rs here), so it needs a rebase.
