[Affected versions]:
- 59.0b11 (20180219114835)
- 58.0.2 (20180206200532)
- 60.0a1 (2018-02-19)

[Affected platforms]:
- Windows 10 x64

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Go to http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/compressed.tracemonkey-pldi-09.pdf
3. Click on the Print button and choose the Print to file option
4. Save the pdf file to your local drive 
5. Observe the saved pdf file

[Expected result]:
- There is no difference between the saved pdf file and the one displayed inside the Firefox browser.

[Actual result]:
- I encountered two different behaviors:
  1. The entire content is aligned to the left side of the page.
  2. The content is properly align, but there are noticeable space gaps and overlapped characters inside the text.

[Regression range]:
- Since this bug is not always reproducible, I wasn’t able to find a regression.

[Additional notes]:
- The issue has intermittent reproducibility using both Foxit Reader PDF Printer and Microsoft Print to PDF.
- I encountered the first scenario only with beta 59.0b10 (20180215111455).
- Note that any attempt of saving the pdf file to the local drive (Foxit Reader PDF Printer) opens two saving windows, first, one to save the output as printer file (.prn extension) and second as a pdf file.
