This is largely in response to Terence Heaford's posting on the Use-List.
Livecode 8.1, Xubuntu Linux 16.04, 64-bit.
Here's a snapshot of the PDF 'printed':
Here's the stack: Please try to print-to-PDF on your Operating system and report back.

Hi Richmond,
Thanks for taking the time to test on Linux. What Terence reported is a bug affecting OS X only, and it will be fixed in the next release:

HOWEVER the print-to-pdf with Livecode 8.1 on Xubuntu is far, far better than
what happens with Livecode 7.1.4:
- Print Card
- testText7.png (5.23 KiB) Viewed 4382 times
- Print Field
- testField7.png (3.73 KiB) Viewed 4382 times
Funnily enough: while Livecode 8.1 prints to PDF, Livecode 7.1.4 prints to postscript (.ps).
