          Assignee: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: pdftops sometimes creates huge PS 3 files out of small
                    PDFs
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: korobkin+lpad at gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: utils
           Product: poppler

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.
