I expect that

ps2pdf teszt.pdf teszt2.pdf

creates teszt2.pdf such that its content is equivalent to teszt.pdf.
Especially the metadata reported by pdfinfo is presereved except where a change 
is useful (e.g. change modification date or add ghostscript to producer).

However, this is not the case:

$ pdfinfo teszt.pdf
Title:          Silly title
Subject:        test file
Keywords:       tests
Author:         Me
Creator:        LaTeX with hyperref package
Producer:       pdfTeX-1.40.3
CreationDate:   Thu Jun 28 11:15:50 2007
ModDate:        Thu Jun 28 11:15:50 2007
Tagged:         no
Pages:          1
Encrypted:      no
Page size:      595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4)
File size:      3767 bytes
Optimized:      no
PDF version:    1.4

$ pdfinfo teszt2.pdf
Producer:       GPL Ghostscript 8.54
CreationDate:   Thu Jun 28 11:16:20 2007
ModDate:        Thu Jun 28 11:16:20 2007
Tagged:         no
Pages:          1
Encrypted:      no
Page size:      595.28 x 841.89 pts (A4)
File size:      3191 bytes
Optimized:      no
PDF version:    1.4

In particular, I dislike losing the title, author, subject, keywords and 
creator.

The two files (teszt.pdf and the result of ps2pdf, which is teszt2.pdf) are 
attached.
