Public bug reported:
When printing to cups-pdf from applications that use PDF as the printing
format, the PDF output from the application is converted to PostScript
using pdftops then back to PDF using Ghostscript. This turns a perfectly
good PDF file into a crappy PDF file that does not display images
correctly and the text is not selectable. If the print job is already in
PDF format, cups-pdf should just pass the file through unmodified or at
least avoid the PDF->PS->PDF conversion.
