Does this bug also occur if there are no embedded fonts in a pdf? Because my canon scanner seems to produce pdfs without embedded fonts, at least pdffonts shows no fonts: $ pdffonts SCN_0002.pdf name type encoding emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- ---------
and i get a very similar error when trying to minimize the filesize with ghostscript: $ gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -sOutputFile=out.pdf SCN_0002.pdf GPL Ghostscript 9.16 (2015-03-30) Copyright (C) 2015 Artifex Software, Inc.

With the minimal gs version from http://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html its working flawlessly. i attached a pdf created by my scanner to this comment.

The general issue is that when there is a CIDF font in a .pdf that is not embedded in the document, ghostscript will stop processing the file at that font (see the file attached to the ghostscript bug). The packaging issue is that CIDF fonts that are not on the system are in the default Ubuntu cidfmap file. System info is: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
