Public bug reported:
On some PDF documents pdftops converts some or all pages to pictures
with a low resolution. But it should not convert the text into a
picture. The output of the postscript file differs extremeley from the
original PDF file. And this postscript file is sent to the printer if
the printer understands postscript.
I detected this problem with a postscript printer. But using pdftops on
the command line with the same PDF gives the same result in the PS file
as printed. Taking the temporary file from /var/spool/cups/tmp it shows
me the same. Therefore it is not a problem with the postscript printer,
instead it ist in pdftops.
Attached a PDF file and the resulting PS file using pdftops. Pages 1 and
2 are pictures, pages 3 to 5 are OK, page 6 is a picture. Perhaps this
is the cause of the difference in the file size.
Note if I use pdftocairo this problem does not exist. But I can't change
cups to use pdftocairo instead of pdftops.
