Please also add the following bug fix patches (they are both accepted
into Poppler upstream):
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20420
pdftops produces broken Postscript
15_poppler-ps-output-broken-binary-encoding-fix.patch
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19777
pdftops command line utility does not convert multiple-page-size
documents correctly
10_pdftops-multiple-page-size-support.patch
The first patch makes the CUPS pdftops filter reliably working also on
PDF files with embedded images. The second allows converting PDF files
with pages of different sizes so that the resulting PostScript file has
the page sizes conserved. The patches are needed for correct printing
with CUPS on PostScript and on many printers with manufacturer-supplied
drivers.
