I finally got around to running the debug pdftk. Here's the output:
$ pdftk base14-fonts.pdf output /tmp/a.pdf verbose
Command Line Data is valid.
Input PDF Filenames & Passwords in Order
( <filename>[, <password>] )
base14-fonts.pdf
The operation to be performed:
filter - Apply 'filters' to a single, input PDF based on output args.
(When the operation is omitted, this is the default.)
The output file will be named:
/tmp/a.pdf
Output PDF encryption settings:
Output PDF will not be encrypted.
No compression or uncompression being performed on output.
