Ghostscript reports this warning converting the attached file: **** Error reading a content stream. The page may be incomplete. **** File did not complete the page properly and may be damaged. and renders the file with much of the content missing. Other PDF interpreters, including Adobe Acrobat, Apple Preview, and mu render the file correctly (mu does report a warning "warning: expected 'endobj' or 'stream' keyword (36 0 R)"). The command line I'm using for testing: bin/gs -sDEVICE=ppmraw -o test.ppm ./test-image-5.pdf
The customer reports: The problem is likely the embedded fonts. In particular the Type1 font wrapped in a composite (object 11) is the likely suspect.

Probably, the problem is unrelated to the file structure. pdfinflt.ps cannot decompress this file.
Ghostscript can render the file after this change in the file. Our PDF interpreter should verify the subtype attribute. The decompression problem is an unrelated bug. *** test-image-5.pdf 2012-04-23 23:55:55.773184403 -0400 --- h.pdf 2012-04-24 11:52:50.183535159 -0400 *************** *** 2776,2782 **** 28 0 obj << /Type /Font ! /Subtype /CIDFontType0 /BaseFont /z003034l /CIDSystemInfo << /Registry (PBS) --- 2776,2782 ---- 28 0 obj << /Type /Font ! /Subtype /Type1 /BaseFont /z003034l /CIDSystemInfo << /Registry (PBS)
