Public bug reported: Hello,
there seems to be a bug in the version 9.16 of ghostscript which prevents using ghostscript with pdfs created by some canon scanners which only consist of large images. I wrongly associated this error with the following bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler-data/+bug/1438494, however cliddell corrected me and also directly pointed to his committed patch: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=668406a5 which should fix this issue. With version 9.18 from http://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html its working flawlessly. The bug occurs when attempting to minimize the file size of such a pdf and the following error message is shown: (an example pdf is attached to this post) $ gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -sOutputFile=out.pdf SCN_0002.pdf GPL Ghostscript 9.16 (2015-03-30) Copyright (C) 2015 Artifex Software, Inc.
