The use of the command 'mutool clean -s' causes some text of the given PDF document to be moved elsewhere, in the given example the string 'BUT' is moved on the top of an already present piece of text. This results in a ruined document.

mutool was compiled from source, version '1.17.0'

The tar file contains two files:

in_1.pdf file
out.pdf

The following should be enough to replicate the problem: mutool clean -s in_1.pdf out.pdf

Thanks,
Pietro

I haven't tested these files, but have encountered similar behavior on MacOS Mojave.

    Bug 702715: Fix layout problems with mutool -s.

    We weren't flushing text on a T*. Do so.

Thanks for the report.
