Description Marcos H. Woehrmann 2006-11-01 17:06:55 UTC 
Ghostcript converts the attached PostScript to PDF incorrectly; specifically the barcodes are wrong.

I verified this by converting the file directly to ppm via Ghostscript:
gs -r300 -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=test1.ppm test.ps

And then to ppm via PDF:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=test.pdf test.ps
gs -r300 -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=test2.ppm test.pdf

As you can tell from the attached screenshot.png there is a marked difference in the files (I converted 
the ppm files to tiff to make it easier to view using Preview).

The problem was originally listed as bug 688953, but I've closed that bug since I believe the comments 
were incorrect.  

Head exhibits the same behaviour as 8.54.
