Public bug reported:

I often reduce the size of pdf documents by running:

gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS="/default"
-dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile="foo.pdf" "Document.pdf"

The latest ghostscript version 9.26 doesn't keep links in the pdf file
and produces slightly larger pdf files compared to 9.18.

The size doesn't matter so much, but it's really bad that the links get
removed.

The attached file GhostscriptBug.tar.bz2 contains four files:

- Scribus document with a link (PDF annotation)
- PDF file with a link, generated by Scribus
- foo9.26.pdf is the file resulting from running the above command with 
ghostscript 9.26 (-> links removed)
- foo9.18.pdf is the file resulting from running the above command with 
ghostscript 9.18 (-> links still there)
