[Browser articles] Record the small differences in the different ways browsers save PDF files

I didn’t pay much attention to these before, but recently I have done a lot of documentation and found out why the fonts in some saved PDF files can be copied and searched, but the fonts in some saved PDF files cannot be copied or searched, etc. I found that the documents obtained by different saving methods have different permissions. Same, make a record! —【Su Xiaomu】

1. Experimental environment

system	Version
Windows 11 Pro for Workstations	22H2（22621.1928）；
Microsoft Edge	Version 115.0.1901.157 (official release) beta (64-bit);

(1) Save as PDF: fonts can be copied and searched, and the file size is small

(2) Microsoft Print to PDF: Fonts cannot be copied or searched! ! ! And the file size is large

How to choose depends on personal use, purely as a record.

(3) File size

For the same file content, the size of directly saving as PDF is nearly twice as small as that of Microsoft Print to PDF.

Summarize

The writing is one-sided, and it is purely a record. If there are mistakes or omissions, please correct me.
