Bug Foxit omits the 2D barcode when printing Canadian passport application form PPTC 153

[unforgettableid]

Hi!

The problem

I'd like to print Canadian passport application form PPTC 153 (PDF). The form includes a 2D barcode near the top-right corner.

• If I print the "Document and stamps", Foxit Reader prints everything — except for the barcode.
• If I print the "Form fields only", Foxit Reader prints the barcode, but leaves out most of the document's text.

In truth, I'd like to print the full document, including the barcode and all text.

A workaround

So far, I've found an awkward workaround. This workaround lets me print the entire form, including the barcode.

The steps are:

• Zoom in on the 2D barcode.
• Take a screenshot.
• Crop the screenshot so that it includes only the barcode.
• Print the form to a new PDF file.
• Open the new PDF file.
• Click "Fill & Sign".
• Use the Sign tool to insert the barcode screenshot you took earlier.

A question for you

Is there any better way for me to print the entire form, including the barcode?

Notes

The form was created using Adobe Designer 6.2. I'm using Foxit Reader 10.1.0.37527 (the latest version). My OS is Windows 10 version 2004 build 19041.572.

I also tried using Acrobat Reader DC. It always prints the full document, including the barcode. But Foxit Reader has other advantages, so I'd prefer to use Foxit Reader if possible.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading this!
