            Bug ID: 520598
           Summary: Unable to print certain PDF when the option 'Force
                    Rasterization' is checked
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
      Version First 26.04.1
       Reported In:
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org

DESCRIPTION
I can print certain PDFs if they are mainly constituted of text.
But with certain PDF more "complex" graphically speaking it does not work.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the PDF with Okular
2. Press Ctrl + p: the printer dialog is displayed
3. Select the right printer and confirm the print
4. The printer is starting its work: it is noisy
5. After several seconds:
  - the printer goes silent again: the print has not been completed
  - the document to print is removed from the queue on printer side
  - the document to print is removed from the queue on computer side
  -> it is exactly like a printer is cancelled


OBSERVED RESULT
By default the option "Force Rasterization" is checked.
If I uncheck it, the PDF which failed is printed properly.


EXPECTED RESULT
1. To have a parameter to enable/disable the "Force Rasterization" option by
default
2. To fix the problem when the option is checked
