The error occurs in the PostScript around lines 44378-44379.
Comment out these 2 lines and the file will distill just fine.
The lines commented-out should look like:
>> % imagemask
>> % Gar8O!!3<."p5&6Mu*H<lMpm`s8T;%s*la!#Nl!cb6!e-!5&ILgA~>
Of course this omits something on page 4.
It is the red arrow indicating where a signature is required.
This seems to have been added over the top of the underlying form,
using coding that looks a bit suspect to me.
viz.

>> /Interpolate false def

Firstly there are 9 entries being defined within the dictionary,
but then /Interpolate is given twice.
The /DataSource line looks quite wrong.
"DataSource must be a single file, procedure, or string"
--- PS Ref. Manual v3
so maybe this will do:
/DataSource {currentfile /ASCII85Decode filter /FlateDecode filter} def
but when testing the same /undefined error occurs with imagemask ,
which could indicate something wrong in the preceding dictionary.

Hope this helps,
