Google-chrome – Suddenly Chrome doesn’t render PDF correctly

google-chromepdf

Everyday I print barcodes in a pdf from Chrome.
Today, suddenly Chrome doesn't render the barcodes correctly.
The pdf shows fine in pdf reader or Edge.

I uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled it but the problem stays.

See the screen-captured picture.
On the top line, the 2 barcodes should look the same but the 2nd one looks weird. This happens for random barcodes.

Please advise. Thanks.

Edit: I figured that this problem occurs only with Chrome version 57. Version 56 works fine.

This could be an issue in either Skia (which produces PDFs) or PDFium (which draws PDFs), both of which are used by Chrome. It would be best to file a bug at https://crbug.com/new as I don't see a currently open bug about this issue. When you do, be sure to point out the website with the barcodes (or mention which program generates the pdf) as well as attach an example pdf. If you respond here with the issue number I'll try to direct it to the right people.
