Hi,
this isn't a PDFCreator bug, so it doesn't matter which version you use. PDFCreator is and has always been a virtual printer and if the printing application (Opera, Chrome) decide to send vector images to the printer instead of actually sending the real text, it will result in a PDF which isn't searchable and doesn't contain any actual text (only image of text). Other tools will suffer from the same issue unless they use OCR or aren't based on virtual printers.
Best regards
Robin
