I have seen exactly this problem with PDF in gv. Alas we
cannot see the PDF source as its binary :-(

'apropos pdf' shows a 'pdfinfo' command to extract
information about your pdf file and a 'pdf2ps' command which
will turn PDF into level 2 conforming PostScript (depending
on the standards conformance of the original PDF). Perhaps
using this later command you will be able to get it into
better PostScript and then psutils can have better luck
massaging it to 2up format.
Good luck.
