That Issue is from 4 years ago. (Chrome version 13! 13! Wow. Remember when version numbers meant something? 
) Printing to PDF has been a feature in Chrome for years. Why even bother using a 3rd party plugin to print to PDFs anymore?
Just posting this in case anyone else runs afoul of it. And hoping that someone else might have a workaround.-wraith808
The Issue also tells you the workaround: Use Chrome's Print to PDF feature instead of the 3rd party plugin.

That's not a workaround, and I said that in the original post. It's a cop out. PDF Factory has other features that print to PDF doesn't have.
- Combine multiple documents into one PDF: Even from multiple sources.
- Rearrange pages using thumbnail view
- Instant preview: Without having to save and open in Acrobat.
- Security: Encrypt and control access to PDF files:
- Font embedding: All original fonts are displayed, even if the reader does not have them.
- Page insertion and deletion: Delete unwanted content before the PDF is created.
- Send via email: eMail PDFs with one click. Copy PDF to clipboard for pasting into an existing email.
- Drag & Drop: Easy integration with Evernote, Gmail and other cloud based facilities.
- Create PDFs on letterhead.
- Add page numbering, headers, footers, watermarks.
- Bookmark each job automatically.
- Create table of contents automatically.
- Convert to grayscale.
- PDF/A archiving.
- Add text notes.
- Fill in forms.
- Crop pages.
- Edit text.
- Add multiple signatures and initials with Notes function
- Combine documents into a single PDF and rearrange them.
- Custom Drivers for specific tasks.
- Text highlight, copy and redact.
- Graphic copy, delete, save.
- Convert text to links.
Just because the Print to PDF is good enough for
your uses, doesn't mean it's good enough for
everyone's. Nor that it's right. And if it's from version 13, it seems as if they would have done
something not to cripple every other use of it. This isn't a plugin to Chrome, it's a standard printer driver. And they're sending rastarized flattened version for our own good. They said there was a fix in 17, but here we are, years later, and it still hasn't been fixed.
Right.
