Thank you a lot Johann, Although \pdfobjcompresslevel=0 does seems to be help for me in some minimalistic case, it didn't help for the whole document. I have tried to bisect it a bit to minimize the size of .pdf to share... seems to have boiled to the heaviest section -- so here is the pdf http://www.onerussian.com/tmp/s-pdf1.5-failpdftk.pdf (~7.5MB) built with \pdfobjcompresslevel=0 which still fails pdftk
$> pdftk s-pdf1.5-failpdftk.pdf output s_.pdf uncompress Error: Failed to open PDF file: s-pdf1.5-failpdftk.pdf Errors encountered. No output created. Done.
