It is really strange, there are several ways to get the broken file.

Yesterday I discovered that it happened with "Print to a file (PDF)" in
Okular. This is a bug of Okular or the underlying Poppler, but not this
bug.

When I print into an actual print queue (with ljet4 as driver) Okular
sends PostScript (most apps send PDF nowadays) and this PostScript is
still correct (therefore this bug is not an Okular bug). CUPS calls the
pstopdf filter to turn this PostScript to PDF and this filter uses
Ghostscript. On this step the file breaks.

You can reproduce it by running the following command with the attached
PostScript file:

gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf printout.ps

This means that the bug is actually in Ghostscript, with Ghostscript's
"pdfwrite" output device.

Moving to Ghostscript ...


** Package changed: okular (Ubuntu) => ghostscript (Ubuntu)
