Bug#619934: /usr/bin/pdfopt: Let Adobe do its own advertizement rather than pdfopt
Package: ghostscript Version: 9.01~dfsg-2 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/pdfopt The pdfopt manpage says: [...] mization puts the elements of the file into a more linear order and adds hint pointers, allowing Adobe's Acrobat(TM) products to display individual pages of the file more quickly when accessing the file through a network. [...] I see no need for such advertizement of products whose companies don't reciprocate.

Even if they don't it is still technically accurate that those hint pointers allow any PDF viewer to display individual pages more quickly. Allow only indicates that it makes it possible, not that it does happen. At least, I don't see any particular reason why only Acrobat would be allowed to use those hints.
