<pre>I'm attaching a few typical PDF files where resulting PostScript level 3 output
of pdftops is significantly larger than pdftocairo would produce. Would be nice
if the output was smaller to improve printing performance over slow links.
Numbers (pdf file size, pdftocairo ps file size, pdftops ps file size):
pdf : 69390
pdftocairo : 99349
pdftops : 7727545
pdf : 242906
pdftocairo : 625772
pdftops : 1550570
pdf : 87515
pdftocairo : 558576
pdftops : 4514389
pdf : 93719
pdftocairo : 728959
pdftops : 1803946
pdf : 226284
pdftocairo : 408044
pdftops : 947692
Tested with poppler-utils 0.26.1 and 0.24.5 on Ubuntu 14.04.</pre>
